I have been asked to find an alternative to using GoToMyPC or Citrix to run over a WAN that spans the whole of IRELAND, UK and POLAND.
Our setup:
Windows 2003 Server with 2003 SQL server as a Backend
Access Frontend linked to SQL server via OBDC on several desktops in the home office from which remote users can log in. Offices in UK, IRELAND and POLAND remote in using GoToMyPC to these desktops.
Now we have tried using Remote Desktop Services on our server as an alternative to GoToMyPC but found out this was very slow. Having put the VPN in place successfully between locations, and tested the speed of the MS Access database applications across it, it is clear that the speed of the connections from our internet service pricvider (Eircom) coupled with the fact that a MS Access front end is very resource heavy across networks, that using a FE copy and connecting to the SQL server over the VPN is not going to work efficiently
Can anyone give me alternatives to having this network set up correctly. Perhaps share ideas on the best approach to set up this kind of network.
Thanks
