Hi Justin,
You got it right.
That's precisely what I have to present in the management meeting.
These were 2 options which I already thought about but was wondering
if there is any detailed documentation with someone regarding
pros/cons of each strategy or any other method to accomplish the same.
All the databases are remotely located on different physical locations
so one of the method is going to be create all those databases in a
one central location on one big server.
Any hint on technical aspects of these would be helpful.
Thanks
