In terms of planning for the size growth of the database, the per file records generate 1-2KB per file transfer, and the session records generate 8-12KB per session. For some size estimates, here are a few examples:

Application |
|
Node machine |
In order to work with Console, node machines must have Aspera Enterprise Server or Aspera Point-to-Point, version 2.2.1 or higher, installed. |
Firewall (on the Console machine) |
Open the following ports on the Console machine:
|
Firewall (on the Node Machines) |
Open the following ports on the Node Machines (Aspera Enterprise, Connect or Faspex Servers, or Aspera Point-to-Point):
The firewall on the server side must allow the open TCP port to reach the Aspera server. Note that no servers are listening on UDP ports. When a transfer is initiated by an Aspera client, the client opens an SSH session to the SSH server on the designated TCP port and negotiates the UDP port over which the data transfer will occur. |
