nscheffey Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Has anyone had any experience using WAN optimization hardware, e.g. Silverpeak, with FileMaker? The basic idea is you have two dedicated machines at both physical locations of the WAN which inspect the data and cache it, so the next time the user requests the same data, they pull it from the local machine rather than across the WAN. Does this sound like something that would help FileMaker performance? My IT department is recommending it but I'm skeptical. Thanks in advance. -Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies reimerit Posted November 18, 2013 Newbies Share Posted November 18, 2013 I have the same thoughts..... is it anyone here who have tried something to get rid of latency.....? In my case we have 10mbit up/download and about 13ms on WAN between sites.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim Decorte Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 The one to keep in mind is that FM is unlike a regular database back-end. FM has a sophisticated notification scheme between client and server and server and all clients that goes beyond just sending data. I'm not sure that pure data caching is going to solve anything. It'd be a great conversation to have with your local FM SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
