| Hi there SQL TeamI hope I’ve posted this in the right section.We have a customer, call them customerACustomerA has just employed a new Chief Information Officer.The New CIO would like to make a few changes to the current way we have things right now.Bare with me as I explain our environment.We have The following ServersApplication Server[FSS (Dual DC Xeon 2.33GHz CPU, 4GB RAM, 3x72GB hdd RAID]Database Server [FSS (Dual DC Xeon 2.33GHz CPU, 4GB RAM, 3x72GB hdd RAID)]Both the above servers sit in a fully fault tolerant environment with daily backups power generators etc etc etc.1000MB network everything work 100%Now my question: The new CIO would like to move the DB server out of this environment to a remote building downtown, and have the application server connect to this remote db server.Is this advisable?What are the required connection speeds, so that the end user does not have to wait for a response?What is the recommended response time IIS should give? Please also note that we are in South Africa and broadband is VERY expensive / unreliable.The CIO would like to install a 2Mbit radio link from this building to the ISP I’m not sure on the cost, but do know that this type of link is very unstable, Their failover will be a 512kb fixed line or diginet line. Cost about ZAR 8000.00 per monthThe application is extremely data / graphs intensive as it contain property information.I think they average about 16000 visitors daily, not a lot.If anyone can give me any input i would appreciated.Thanks |

| Not quite understand the logical here, just tell them those facts. If your customer still want to do it, what you can say. |
