I work for an organization that ran an Oracle Database and 2 Citrix
servers (4.0) in Brisbane and 4 Citrix servers (4.0) pointing back to
Brisbane from a South Pacific Island over a Satellite link.
We had numerous issues with the IMA service starting over the sat link
which caused delays getting the servers back up if there were issues.
We ended up splitting the DS into 2 farms 1 in BNE on the Oracle DB and
1 on the island on an SQL 2005 DB (There were also other business and
technical reasons for this decision)
Needless to say there has been a vast improvement in the IMA service and
server response time and the users are much happier as well.

Subject: [THIN] 4.5 Datastore and Satellites
I have a 4.5 farm using SQL for the DS, and on the other end of a
satellite I have a 4.0 farm that I need to rebuild and bring up to 4.5
as well. I'd like to collapse them into one farm so I'm pondering what
to do about the datastore; should I setup a SQL server at the remote
site and replicate, or since 4.5 can run indefintely off of the LHC
should I just have the remote server access the DS over the WAN?
The WAN in question is a geo-synchronous satellite, so about 800ms and
it's a pretty heavily utilized small pipe. It's also up and down a lot
sometimes.
Looking for thoughts, suggestions, experiences, brain farts, etc.
thanks.
