There are many factors to take into account when designing and implementing your server and network hardware and architecture, and sizing your database. The critical factor in sizing a handheld implementation is the expected peak synchronization load. Specific application variables to consider in calculating this load are: the number of concurrent users, number of transactions, and size of the data file. These variables should be considered within the context of the hardware specifications, including memory and processor speed.
