Internet speed required to access Thingworx

Sathishkumar_C — Sat, 30 Oct 2021 18:58:22 GMT

What is internet speed (in Megabits per Second - Mbps) required to access Thingworx which is hosted on Azure cloud?

Minimum Download and Upload speed in Mbps?

Recommended Download and Upload speed in Mbps?

How can I derive the required Download and Upload speed to access Thingworx?

Regards,

Sathishkumar

Thanks for your reply.

But, it's not about server sizing.

My question is regarding internet speed required to develop mashup screen. For example, if you want to stream 4k videos in YouTube, you should have atleast 20 Mbps.

Likewise what is the speed required to develop mashup in Thingworx which is hosted on Azure cloud.

Hi @Sathishkumar_C.

There is not a one-size-fits-all answer to this question. It will depend on a number of factors, such as volume of data, design of the mashup, number of users, etc. You might need to develop your application, while taking some assessments along the way in order to rethink your design if you run into issues.

Sizing is not the same as Speed or Bandwidth.

I´m looking for something similar regarding Thingworx Historian Connector. However, I think that some calculus criteria could be useful to estimate this item. In my case, customer wants to know because limited connection is available.

Use the Browser Dev-Tools; specifically to record the Network traffic. If you have a solution in place, track the worst-case scenario of it (with and without caching) and see how much data is transfered.

If you have not, then use the Browser-Tools to artificially limit your bandwidth and navigate through the composer. Thingworx is anything but a slim & fast in regards of the UI. Even an empty mashup transfers ~12MB (Thingworx 9.5) for a full (and uncached) page load.

In the end, the customer decides what loading times they will tolerate.
