Network Requirements

As a cloud SaaS application, Oracle® Fusion Cloud Warehouse Management, formerly LogFire, is accessed over the internet. Adequate bandwidth is required to provide a responsive experience. Bandwidth requirements vary based on the volume at a client site. Bandwidth is not the only determining factor for application responsiveness. Among other factors, network related items such as latency and reliability of the network service may affect the application response.

To calculate the bandwidth required at a site, the determining factors are the number of users at the site, split into number of RF device users and number of Desktop Web interface users. This information will be used by Oracle Warehouse Management (WMS) Cloud to recommend a bandwidth for the site. To provide some rough guidance, we recommend a minimum of 1.5Mbps dedicated and that can support about 60 users (45 RF and 15 Desktop UI). Even if user counts are lower than that, we do not recommend going below this minimum bandwidth at a site.

Dedicated Bandwidth

  • Shared non-commercial internet services such as cable internet or DSL are not recommended.
  • The bandwidth should be primarily allocated for WMS, and not shared for other purposes, so that, for example a laptop user on the same Wi-Fi network playing streaming music or video does not affect the bandwidth available to the WMS. Ideally, the RF Wi-Fi network should not be used for other purposes.
