Re: Question Re: Browser response time

[michael.franchino@xxxxxxxxxx]

   Network infrastructure is big.. If you are using multiple hubs = daisy
   chained together instead of using network switches attached using a b   
ackbone is also very big.. Browser sends a lot of data back/forth with
   mult= iple requests, so lag time can also hinder your response.
      If you are in a WAN type environemnt, CITRIX or Terminal Server is a mu   
ch better fit. Using that here at our customer in Switzerland with 80
   users= in Switzerland and 80 users in US on 9 CITRIX servers.. Works very
   well.. = Browser was unusable from a regular network attachment whereas
   CITRIX works= very nicely now.

   We also added Green Screen, EW= P, frx and analytics all on the same
   servers. Management is nice, performan= ce is nice.. We are really only
   using 3 physical servers using VMWARE to sp= lit them up into 3 servers.
   Very nice and low TCO especially if they = needed to buy 150+ new PCs that
   were 5+ years old and now they don't.

   Skip, We found her= e that, as Mike Crawford stated earlier, the 100MB
   network cards and lin= es are critical to Browser performance. I would
   find it hard to believe= that your 400 is the bottleneck in your stated
   environment. Make sure = 400 nics and PC nics are capable of 100MB, we
   found that to be an issue = on some PCs here. You may want to have
   someone perform a network throug= hput test to insure transmission speed
   isn't the issue, many small servi= ce companies will do this on the cheap.
   Also keeping 400 file sizes in = check is important. Good Luck.
