There is a basic difference between SAN and NAS:
SAN allows you to run executables of the Logical Volumes (i.e. it acts as if it resides as a disk on your servers). NAS is simply a file storage system. With NAS, you will see huge networking issues because it is purely IP traffic routing through...
Yes, make sure the file itself is sharable. You may have to set up security and create a so called mdw file for user based security. every user has to join the workgroup ("wrkgradm.exe" or so). Once the file and record locking is implemented it should work...
What is the uptime of the server(s)? How long have they been running? We recommend rebooting them once a week depending on the number of sessions? Did you install service packs/patches lately? Might be another reason. I usually test patches and service packs on a separate mini-farm for a week or...
Look at the following things:
How much local printing is done? Are you restricting the bandwidth for printing? If not, consider using perhaps a third party tool such as Tricerat's "Screwdriver" - it is the best I know not only because it compresses the print stream by 50%-60% and...
I recommend using SQL as well. You have many features that Access simply cannot give you. You can for example replicate the entire db onto a separate server (yes, Access can do that as well but is not as robust). Furthermore you can automate a lot of administrative tasks such as re-indexing...
You may have thought of this - How long have the servers been up? I usually recommend (depending on the number of sessions) rebooting the servers at least one a week. We experienced issues like that as well...
Another thing you should look at is your network architecture. Do you have some of...
You also might want to check out the following third party tools:
Thinprint
Screwdriver (company called "Tricerat")
There is a third tool but it required Adobe... We are using Scredriver and it not only solves your problem (you have to install a screwdriver client on each pc and from...
Hi,
We are currently testing several options. We have a similar challenge and are "paranoid" about security...
The safest bet would be to combine VPN, SSL and CSG. The only problem with that aproach is performance (or the lack of it) as well as issues troubleshooting... (VERY time...
