With some of the local admin lockdowns not all can do ping/tracert. Adds to the frustration. Have been going over this repeatedly over a few months, and most times have asked the network teams for their feedback - invariably just get the "its fine" responses. Latency differences between 1Gb/s and 10Mb/s would be huge, I've asked what the network speeds are to some of the trouble spots. They somehow evade the questions. I may start considering banging my head against a wall instead of actually asking the network teams for assistance ;) Regards Dave

Maybe you could see the hop that is causing the 60 m/s ping times. Did your network guy check all of the network interfaces to make sure they are all set on 1Gb/s? I've seen multiple times where a switch, or pc, set to auto-negotiate, chose 10Mb/s instead of 1Gb/s, boy is there a big difference there!

You could go olld school to pin down the issue. Have one of your remote users (that see the slow down) with you at the same time and do the same functions and time them. Do it at peak times as well as non-peak. Also have your network admin on the phone. hbr On 6/26/08, Barber, David < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Sorry ... Clients are all running on v7.0.01 user tool.

Based in a data center somewhere very remote from us in head office. Invariably here at head office performance is fine, its other users who generally have problems. From the experience and tests we've done it does appear to be sensitive to network performance. Although having said that AR Server load is around 20-25%, SQL Server normally 90+% load.

Can you give us more information about your setup? Database type, server OS, web server type, etc? I assume you are using 1 AR Server connected to a local (relative to the server) database. You did not mention whether or not you are using the Web or Windows clients either.

We're running a suite of bespoke applications, and are finding that some tasks such as opening/updating incidents can take orders of magnitude longer in some locations. For example it can take me 8 seconds, but a colleague at another location 2 or 3 minutes. Have been able to do some local benchmarks - typical ping responses are circa 10ms, but at points when we find that even our performance is hit, we find the network is responding to pings at maybe 60+ms. Our network guys invariably say that the network is running fine ... So it appears that Remedy, or at least the applications we're running, are incredibly sensitive to network performance. Any suggestions from the list as to what we can do to improve performance?
