Does anyone have expereince in setting up a remote office with VPN runing AC remotely? It seems AC is traferring tons of data that even with a T1 onnection it takes 30 minute to just open the AC. Not sure if we trust synchronizing end of the day, or even if that is fast enough. Are we doing something wrong? does anyone have expereince in this or solution in connecting a remote office?.
This article describes pretty well the limitations of using MSAccess over a Wide area network (WAN). When using a VPN with AC, this is exactly what you are doing:
http://members.shaw.ca/AlbertKallal/Wan/Wans.htmlThe amount of data transferred over the internet, with the expected temporary disconnections and delays of the internet, will make AC unreliable. This is why Logmein, GotoMyPC and remote desktop are better remote access options for accessing amazing charts than using a hardware based VPN router. When using those products, the only thing going across the internet is the screen shot and related activity. All database traffic stays on the local area network (LAN) so it appears much faster and reliable.
I have tested this configuration and confirmed the delays are unacceptable.
