Hi,
i googled the question and tried to find answer here at forum but no luck...

i need to plan Sql 2008 database which will on the server. Server will on local main corporate network. Clients are located at another office network and connected through VPN site-to-site connection to the main corporate network.

The question is How fast MUST be site-to-site VPN connection for allowing to work with Sql2008?!
Thank you

P.S. database size is about 1 Gb, its about 10 clients will work on it.

How fast depends on the requirements?
Is the performance on the server itself good?
What network card speeds are the clients set at?
Are you fibre or non - fibre?
Have you checked the settings on the client machibe , such as Duplex settings are correct?

Hi,
Thank you for replay.
Yes server is good enough. clients located at over site and connected via vpn connection. cards are 100 full duplex but vpn connection will not be 100/100mbit. i dont no if my client have fiber between sites so lets think no fiber.

This isn't a question we can answer just from a SQL Server perspective. What matters are your requirements as Jack says and what the client thinks of the application speed. You'll need to TEST it to know if it's fast enough.
