Performance / Design Considerations with Many Users

Invitation To Comment

I'd like to get your thoughts on the following. What design layout would work best as to regard to performance and limiting any MultiUser Conflicts. I've reviewed the Tech Documentation about design considerations, but wanted some more light on specifics.

For the excercise we are talking, Sage 300 2012, on good infrastructure with about 50 users.

Design 1:
One MS SQL Server with the DB only on it. Two Terminal Servers with the program installed on it. Shared Data directory on the SQL Box.

Design 2:
One MS SQL Server with the DB and Sage Programs and Shared Data Directory on it. Two Terminal Servers with the WSSetup installed on it.

Would there be a preference, a difference? What are your thoughts based on your experience?

Thanks,
Rodney

No difference between 1 & 2 - except for where the apps are installed.
Typically I install the apps on terminal servers and don't do wssetups on them - but that's just my preference, no technical reason. You can do either design, its 6 of one or half dozen of the other.

Ditto.
