With the above recommended hardware, the self-hosted TPS can handle service calls at a max rate of 220,000/hour. In order to handle a more heavy volume of service calls, the addition of the TPS Service Server is necessary (with the addition of a load balancer). The number of TPS servers needed depends on the max volume of the service calls. The general rule is to add one more server for each 220,000/hour service call increase.
