Hello, I have two questions around setting up print servers for a cloud hosted IFS apps 10 Aurena only deployment.

IFS recommends setting up print servers “as close to the physical printers as possible”. I see this as an outdated strategy. Many organizations have centralized data centers and/or cloud infrastructure and are actively trying to reduce the number of servers installed at locations, including print servers. There are low latency, high bandwidth connections that can overcome issues of the past. So, what are the actual needs for bandwidth, latency or other technical specifications to make IFS print servers work effectively so I can decide whether they actually need to be on site or in our data center?

Second question, does IFS support Azure Universal Print, which is ultimately where we’re going in our infrastructure.

Thanks.
