web server optimal network setup

Hello everyone,

We currently have our corporate office in California and opened a branch office in Amsterdam. We have implemented the JDE webserver for ERP 8.0 SP21 and now all of the users in Amsterdam (currently 6) access OneWorld over the web.

We are getting a lot of complaints that the connection is just too sluggish.

Currently our Amsterdam office users acess a machine that is connected to our network through VPN over a DSL connection. They then can access the JDE webserver through their browser.

I am looking for suggestions on how we can improve our response time without compromising security. I would appreciate it greatly if I could get some of you to respond with how you are setup with regards to your JDE webserver for outside access.

I am willing to talk offline if someone is willing to share.

Thank you for your time,
DeRay

I've seen this set up using Citrix Metaframe XP web components. You
don't even need a VPN. Anyone from a browser can access, and you still
can employ a great deal of security.

Now I've seen it work from different parts of the US and the response
time is as fast as being in the office...don't know if the DSL system or
access in Amsterdam is what we have here in the US.

Regards,

Jim

1. SP22 introduces major performance improvements.
2. Workstation performance directly relates to web performance.
3. WAN latency directly relates to performance.
4. J. D. Edwards has power point presentations that indicate major peroformance improvements after implementing an HTTP compression device.

And even if you have all of the above, web is still nowhere close to the speed of terminal server for heads down entry.

I agree with Jeremy's comments and add:

1) Make sure you have sufficent bandwidth to Amersterdam
2) Consider adding in a web compression layer to the mix. We are using a boostedge network appliance. It's a little Linix appliance that sits transparently in between my web server and the network. It quietly boosts performance by compressing all of the HTML. There's nothing special that I have to do for the clients. cool gadget!
