Where would the MT servers be located? What is the size of the pipe between the ARS servers and the remoted MT servers? Also, is there a firewall/network appliance that would be placed between your ARS server and the MT servers?

Subject: Mid-Tier architecture question
Hi List
I'm looking for advice on the best architecture to adopt for the Mid-Tier.
Imagine a central Remedy application and database server(s) based in the US, with users based in the US, Europe, Asia etc. Most user access is to be through the Mid-Tier.
Say we decide to have 3 Mid-Tier servers, the questions is, are we better to locate the MT servers locally to the ARS platform, and transmit the Mid-Tier to client browser traffic over the WAN, or is it better to locate the MT servers locally to the users, and transmit the Mid-Tier to ARS traffic over the WAN.
My **guess** is that having the Mid-Tier servers local to the ARS server would give better performance as I expect the most intensive traffic to be between the MT servers and ARS, but I have no evidence for this from a real-life situation. Has anyone compared these types of architecture and discovered performance differences?
Thanks for any information.
