3. All received documents are fetched and printed by the IPPrinter (running in the separate VM) to the
Windows printer server
Following resource estimation and key performance indicators table consists of three parts:
1. Required granted resources are those that must be permanently allocated on the ESX Server for the
TCOSS VM. The ESX Server itself guarantees that these resources are available
2. Resource capacity to be planned must be taken into account during the virtualization planning phase by
the system administrators. Note that it is planning stuff only and availability of these resources cannot
be explicitly checked, only indirectly by observing key performance indicators.
3. Key performance indicators are values that must be fulfilled and measured during the operation in order
to check whether planned resources (see point 2. above) are really available. Refer to the chapter

(1) Add 128 MByte RAM for each additional TCOSS storage or media server instance
(2) Average Network kBytes/s is the real bandwidth consumption, the Network bandwidth is the
recommended capacity to be planned for the TCOSS server
