[THIN] Re: WAN links and farm

What we've done is move the server back into a local farm and the apps
perform better. Odd...guess we'll have to do more digging but just wanted to
rule out that the traffic between the server and datastore/lic server isn't
the cause.

It really shouldn't make that kind of a difference. Slow app performance is
sort of a different issue than the data store/licensing portion. If I
understand you correctly, you are running the same apps on the same server,
but now those servers are in a different farm AND the apps perform slowly.

 

Have you monitored the performance and throughput of this T1 link? There is
a bunch of communication between your zone and the data store, but not a
huge amount that would kill your link. How utilized is the link? Is it
saturated? What are typical ping times back and forth between the sites?

We've recently moved our servers into another farm. The datastore and
license server reside across a T1. We are all running Windows 2003 with PS
4.0 Prior to the switch, we ran on the same servers in our own farm. License
server was local, datastore was local. Since the switchover, application
launching is very slow, even movement within the app is very slow. 

 

Obviously having the db store and license server on the same LAN would be
quicker but should it make that much of a difference? How much data and
communication is going on across the WAN link with server in the same farm?
Servers seperated by the WAN link are in different Zones by the way.
