Remote application server Architecture

[JPReyes]

Hi,

I have a requirement where I need to consider having an application server in a different city. This is a simple case of we either make a lot of the connections  travel through the WAN or we install a remote application server and then the only thing that travels is the communications in between the SAP instances. 

I believe the most important thing here will be the latency/speed of the link. Does anyone worked in a similar scenario that can share their experience?..

Hi Juan,

did you go for testing your setup? We have our DB and AS located in Europe and go for a big installation in JP with let's say 100-150 users. I wonder how the user experience will be if the AS is located in Asia.

Current latency profile from Japan is like GUI--- 260ms -->AS-- 10ms --> DB and would be then

GUI--- 80ms -->AS-- 260ms--> DB

I could imagine that VA0x, ME2xN etc would gain speed.

Looking forward to hear your results or opinion.

Hi Juan

Hope you must have finished your test project. Was your test successful and what is your conclusion.

is the performance better by keeping a separate App Server at the remote location.

Please let us know as we also would like to implement the same option of a remote application server.

Thnx
