RE: Informix WAN or LAN

It depends upon how your application is structured and how much data moves from the server to the client. It may only be screen redisplays. Does the application run on the server or is it client server? The question is what bandwidth (a network issue) do you require to transfer the required data (or screens) at peak times.

Basically, my corporate office wants to take my informix database from my office to another office in southern california. Currently I have about 100 users that use this machine to query information from the database all day long. I am concerned that if my database is remove from my office that my users will be impacted because of the speed of the WAN. Currently my users are all on 100m bit connections and the WAN connection to Southern California is only a single T1. My offices are about 500 miles away. Can anyone give me any techinical reasons why my database should stay where the users are? Can anyone direct me toward any techinical resources about WAN's? In my experiences WANs are not as reliable as LANs but I need some technical jargon to put into a memo. Thanks in advance... Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know.
