Estimate the required number of servers

The load generated by one user using IBM® Cognos® Mobile on a server (dispatcher) is similar to the load generated by the same user using the IBM Cognos desktop products.

The resources needed by a desktop user to browse folders, run reports, answer prompts and view the resulting report are approximately the same as the resources needed by a mobile user to perform the same actions. As a result, to estimate the number of servers needed for your mobile users you can use the same formula that you use to estimate the number of servers needed for your desktop users.
