Bandwidth Consideration

[nilmadhab.laha]

Hi All,

Is there any document available which talks about band width considerations for TM1 10.2.2 - where end users are to access the application across geography - connected via LAN/WAN ?
Following is the document already available.
http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/p ... ations.pdf
However - its pretty old - and as the document itself suggests - recommendations are suitable in TM1 8.2 through TM1 9.1. Do we have similar kind of document for Version 10 and above?

Thanks and Regards.
Laha.

That'll pretty much cover architect and we up to 10.2. You'd need to ask IBM for statistics for PM, The new web and more importantly Cafe. After all Cafe was added for WAN issues. I'm sure they're full of useful stats showing how much Cafe is faster,

Assuming you're interested in performance and not usage, here's the one liner: for native access, users should be on the same LAN. Most WAN access is going to be unacceptably slow. I'm located in Florida and have about 90 ms pings to the server in San Francisco. It's completely unusable natively for me. I (and all other US but non-SF users) access TM1 via Remote Desktop.

I had a hardware issue during my last upgrade and had to temporarily put my San Francisco server on a box in Phoenix, about 750 miles away. SF is our HQ and PHX is our primary data center, so we have a massive, direct pipe connecting them. Latencies were in the 19ms range. Although the system was usable until I got the normal server sorted out, I got daily gripes from the San Francisco users about performance. I'd call it at the upper range for usability, YMMV.

Thanks a lot Jim and Matt for your reply. It was useful to me.
