EPDM Performance

OK guys, is anyone doing work offshore and managing thruEPDM?

EPDM 2008 SP4/ SW2008SP5

I have my DBase/Archive server in Denison, TX and archive serversin India, Tulsa-OK,and Acuna-Mexico. The performance is acceptableto Tulsa and Acuna. India on the other hand is another story alltogether.

I realize the latency to India is part of the equation but testingwith a 1MB file- check in is 3 minutes. It takes just as long totransition from one workflow state to another. so from Initialcheck in, check, approve, and transition to the US workflow takes12 minutes extra per file. Now imagine a large assembly and you cansee the pain our team is feeling.

I have a VPN tunnel connection on its own T1 with no competingtraffic. I have reviewed and am following all the networkingsuggestions from SolidWorks and our VAR.

Anyone else seeing this? The India group is becoming irritated tosay the least...

Sorry if this has been addressed before but with the wonderfulsearch capability...

ANY THOUGHTS?
