TM1 Forum

Hi

just wondering if anyone has investigated using Riverbed WAN optimisation techolnogy for TM1? We are in Sydney and have TM1 servers in London we would like to access. We can connect to them in TM1 server Explorer but it is very slow.
We have Riverbeds for HTTP / Citrix acceleration to/from London and I'm wondeirng if we can get also use them to optimise the tm1 server explorer and excel addin connections to London as well?

Cheers

Luka

I am not familiar with Riverbed, but you mention Citrix. Several of our clients use Citrix for TM1 access, some of them for many years, and it works well with TM1. If you have a Citrix infrastructure it may be worth setting up a test with TM1.

From the looks of there site this is basically a caching type appliance. We tried out something similar with both the client and web, but you are only going to get so far. Ultimately we found the the results did not do much to improve the situation. YMMV, so if you own the product and can work out a proof of concept with them it may be worth a shot, but as the previous poster said you are more likely better of with Citrix.

We've Citrix in place and Riverbed optimisation at current client - where we've seen most benefit is in the time it takes our London TM1 server to access data from ledger systems in far flung locations via TI - time to run SQL extracts was cut by about 75% in some cases.
