Performance of Civil3d over Fibre Network

[ralstogj]

Hi

Three of us are situated in a satellite office and currently have our own server and sync information back nightly to the main office. We have to upgrade our server and are thinking maybe we could just have fibre wired into the office to give us 100mb/s download and 50mb/s upload and just work of the main office server.

Has anyone done something  similar with any success? We do not use vault at this stage but dataref alot

I have read numerous post that 3D hits a network hard looking for files, personally I would say that if you current system works for you then leave it alone or just set the your server up to mirror, the other that way the server does the work verse you/C3D ping over the wire.

To achieve such a throughput, you don't need a fiber network at all: a cheap, classic GigaEthernet 1000 Mbps is enough able to, unless the distance to the satellite office is greater than 100 meters.

In this latter case, you should supply repeaters along the network trunks, sir
