Gig-E or higher then between the various components connected to a high-speed switch. Add a hardware firewall between the VPN and the Mid-Tier server to keep unwanted traffic out.

Hey James,
All the components exist in a internal network - though they will be using this application over VPN from the outside world. So our aim is more to optimize the network speed internally between lets say the AR Server and the database, or the load balancer and the AR Servers, or between the Mid-tier and the load balancer and the AR Server and the database.. All these network pipelines basically.
We are investing in new hardware so budgets shouldn't be that much of a constraint..
Cheers

Internal or external?

This is my setup.. Each of these instances reside on seperate boxes.
1.) 2 AR System Servers
2.) Oracle DB server
3.) 3 Web Servers with the mid tier application installed on all of them resolving the load balancer device name to connect to the AR Servers.
4.) Hardware load balancer between the 2 AR System servers.
5.) We have a couple of web services published that would be used by other systems to query a table that has a couple of columns with lenght of 1024 as of now but we might marginally increase it if needed. Information contained in these columns are a concatinated list of regions affected by an outage caused by a network element going down in the cable network. So since these regions could be pretty much undertermined depending on how big the outage is, its hard to say what the lenght of that concatinated list might be but more often then not they would be much less than 255 characters. It might be that one odd occassion when the outage is severe that numerous regions might be affected resulting in a data lenght of about 1024 - I'm hoping that would be a good maximum limit to have rather than keeping it unlimited.
Keeping all these in mind, what would be the reccommended network speed I should ask the network guys to build this environment to cater to the above?
