The purpose of this A2i network standards section is to provide the network standards and
specifications recommended by FIS. Please contact the FIS Hardware and Network Services
division for assistance with specific hardware requirements to ensure a successful
implementation of Bankway A2i at your bank.
A2i Network Standards provides information on the following topics:
● Server hardware configurations
● Required software
● Microsoft SQL Server 2005
● Telecommunications Networks
The network standards provided in this guide are required and must be certified prior to the
implementation of A2i at your bank. Included in the guide are the minimum and/or suggested
configurations for this implementation. As individual bank networks and applications may vary,
please review these standards with your bank’s designated network vendor and FIS. Your
bank’s network vendor is responsible for researching and implementing any additional
requirements for your environment, such as new applications, security requirements, etc.
Note: These standards are dynamic in nature and are subject to additions, changes, and
deletions as both software and hardware technologies advance. Please contact your FIS
account executive to ensure that you have the most current information.
Successful implementation of A2i requires the following items, explained in more detail below:
● A dedicated, enterprise-grade server
● Adequate Bankway host resources (DISK and batch processing window)
● A recent, Windows-based client instance of Internet Explorer
● An implementation plan
A state-of-the-technology Windows-based enterprise server will support your reporting needs
well into the future. A single server will suffice in almost all cases, at least initially. If warranted
by increased demands resulting from wider usage and organic growth in the number of accounts
and customers, it is possible to subsequently use separate servers to house the different
components of the A2i solution (i.e. databases, Composer, and SQL Reporting Services).
