Bandwidth requirement calculator

My company has some servers on the west coast and wants to setup continuous file transfer to a data center in the East Coast. I'm trying to estimate the bandwidth needed.

The vendor application that transfers the files shows huge traffic variations from time to time and I have the past traffic data. There are 5 servers on the West coast where the data originates. The data is transferred in periodic bursts from each of the 5 servers. It's possible each of the five servers can transmit data at once and also that there is no traffic at some times.

How do I calculate the higher end of the average bandwidth so that average size files keep moving and highest size files can take a slightly longer time to transmit.

Any calculator will be helpful.
