Does PDM server replication work well from a user standpoint? (or at least, better than VPN from China to US)? Considering an upgrade.

Hey all,

   We've got primary users in the United States, but some users in China and Finland.

VPN to our office is laggy and so PDM is slow.

My question:  Does PDM server replication work well from a user standpoint? (or at least, better than VPN from China to US)? We're considering an upgrade to Enterprise PDM from PDM standard.  

I would love to just speak w/ someone who's done it w/ some measure of success.

What were the basic infrastructure needs, etc.?
