Hey all,
We've got primary users in the United States, but some users in China and Finland.
VPN to our office is laggy and so PDM is slow<gasp>.
My question: Does PDM server replication work well from a user standpoint? (or at least, better than VPN from China to US)? We're considering an upgrade to Enterprise PDM from PDM standard.
I would love to just speak w/ someone who's done it w/ some measure of success.
What were the basic infrastructure needs, etc.?
Just to throw one another idea: Citrix at same location where you main database/archive is.
Helps a lot with Solidworks PDM functions like copy tree, state changes etc for those locations. Lots of configuring though and not cheap either.
We also have huge environment and have servers Finland, China, Australia, Africa, Russia etc, I would love to know also if somebody has real measurement data of database replication as it's really expensive because of those database per core licenses(Microsoft SQL Enterprise Edition)
We only have archive replication set to different locations and huge latencies between US/Finland etc. ~20 Archive servers.
