Web Server Requirements
The choice of Web Server is critical aspect of defining the user experience. The right setup should be a balance of CPU, RAM, IIS configuration and safety features.
Reverse Caching should be disabled on the Web Server.
Web Server and SSDigit Router should be adequately protected with a Firewall.
Use of SSL certificate is highly recommended

Other Vital Components
Web Access requirements for your clients and branchesWeb Users including clients, branches and CRM users need to have a browser (recommended Google Chrome).
Branches also require scanners/camera to upload cheques to RMS Team for increased limits and KYC documents if KYC is entered by branches.
Anti-Virus softwares not recommended are:
Reverse Caching should be disabled on the Web Server.
Web Server and SSDigit Router should be adequately protected with a Firewall.
SharePro Client PCs
These are the PCs that do the heavy duty lifting by your staff inside your premises.
Any Intel i3 series or AMD FX4 series system with HDD (Barracuda / Caviar i.e.7200 RPM) with RAM (4GB) and Display (17″ or more). With Windows 8.1 and MS Office/Open Office.
Outlook is required only if mails are required to be sent from the local system.
SharePro Live RMS
Live RMS server needs to be connected with the trading networks of all the exchanges to receive trade data and rate broadcasts. Hence it cannot be hosted at a Datacentre.
SSDigit Router
MS-Outlook (with the Outlook Security Patch for bulk auto-send) OR a Linux/Windows mail server for bulk emailing.
Digital Certificate to be setup to send signed emails.
API based SMS (URL, Username, Password, Success or Fail flag) for sending bulk SMS.
In-house Virtual Server
A small broker can begin with an in-house virtualized server hosting 1) a database server, 2) Web server, 3) SSDigit Router, 4) Live RMS Server and 5)Linux/Windows in-house Mail
Server. System resources can be shared and optimized for e.g. Live RMS Server can be switched off after trading hours, etc..
Host system should have a CPU that has VT-x with built-in VT-d, Instruction Set Extensions SSE4.1/4.2, AVX and Graphics Base Frequency of 650 MHz.
Datacentre Virtual Server
If the hosting is at a data centre, then a minimum 1MB (recommended 2MB) leased line connectivity is required for good Desktop user experience.
Other devices
90 col for Cheque/Voucher printing
132 col printer/line printer for pre-printed contracts.
Desktop Scanners for scanning KYC documents and signatures.
