In these environments, users open data files such as AutoCAD
®
drawings
Inventor Assemblies or Microsoft
®
Office documents from there local file
Store. All metadata is read from and written to a central database so that users
can open large files much faster than if they copy them across the Wide Area
Network (WAN)
NOTE Setting up the main site first and attempting to access the main set remotely
can provide satisfactory performance for some users. We recommend that you set
up the main site and expanding to a multiple site after.
Is Multiple Site Environment Right for You
Setting up a multiple site environment is more complicated than a single
server environment. Consider several factors when deciding if you want to
set up a multiple site environment:
■ Network reliability.
■ Network latency and Bandwidth between sites. (Should be low latency and
high bandwidth.)
■
Number of remote sites.
■ Number of users per site.
■ Size and number of files to replicate per day/per hour.
■ Estimated number of concurrent users.
