Patrick I should not have made a spin on someone's discussion. For that I am sorry. DSO will rightly solve that problem. The data is geographically seperated or distributed with DSO. My take was different. I would like one locaton for the AR Server including server groups and use the Mid-Tier as "local hub" for remotly users (user with a long network delay) to improve their overall performance. We are trying to solve two diffferent things here. ~ Terje

I have had great success with geographically separated mid tier servers. Our users in Japan find the application on average 3 seconds faster for every operation accessing a local web server then accessing a web server in UK. The AR Server located in UK. I am now looking into the possibility to improve the overall network performance between AR Server and every local mid-tier server. By giving the network traffic between the serves higher priorities - I hope to improve the overall performance. You can control server-to-server traffic - you have no or limited control over end users accessing the mid-tier. With world-wide support centers - using the same AR installation, the plan is to have local web serves/mid-tier servers to improve end-to-end performance. Am I missing out of anything here? ARS 75p7, ITSM 75p1, mid-tier servers 7.6.4. Platform Windows Server 2008 64 bits. ~ Terje ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) on behalf of patrick zandi Sent: Wed 16/03/2011 04:52 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: ITSM 7.6.4 ** Geographically separated mid-tiers is not recommended. making servers geographically separated (using DSO) and mid-tiers with them is. The network traffic between a mid-tier and the ARS server should be protected, at a high level of encryption, and to further put it geographically separated over a wan is a performance killer. IMHO Put the mid-tier and the Server on the same Physical Switch (reducing time) use a group of mid-tier's (they are just clients) load balanced to increase speed. Use the pre-load to increase speed, Tune the oracle tables associated with the common IO calls people are having. The top 10 user indexes appropriately use efficient queries consider using set fields actions in filters instead of active links avoid using filters which perform run process stagger escalations times use direct sql, $PROCESS$, sparingly avoid sending notifications to many addressees minimize the number of diary and long character Fields avoid admin tool def changes during peak hours keep you application design simple implement DSO allocate enough shared memory in the tomcat and server provide adequate computer and network resource.

The new solution will hopefully address considerable performance issues experienced by remote users of our current 7.1 deployment. The current deployment is located on the eastern seaboard where a large portion of my customer base is located. However, my clients in Asia Pacific (fastest growing) and Europe have complained about slow performance. What is the recommended implementation of ITSM 7.6.03/4 that will present the best response times for all users of the system? We have considered placing mid tier and app servers in the remote regions, but I don't have data to support this design. The reference architecture document (http://documents.bmc.com/supportu/documents/49/03/114903/114903.pdf) does not speak to this design challenge directly. Suggestions greatly appreciated.
