Hardware Sizing

Basic Requirement statement:

• The Ripple Premium server acts as a repository of content for subscription by mobile users.

• Currently the content is collected through an Excel sheet based mechanism once a day and loaded into this server.

• The Excel sheet contains location and description data about content on different provider’s servers. This Excel sheet has to be prepared by the Content providers and given to PurpleAce. Then through macros the data is loaded into PA’s database for locating the content on demand.

• The aim is to automate this process.

• The indexing of newly added content at any content provider’s site can be a scheduled process. This can run once a day as the current Excel based process runs, twice a day etc.

• There should be a way to identify already added content. One way to do this is to perform the identification at PA end. However, this leads to a lot of overhead which is best avoided. One way to achieve this is to have a file / database table at the original content provider’s end
