We had our SW VAR come down and evaulate our network setup. They told us we need a dedicated server. I want to run it past you pro's.
Details -
8 Designers
SW 2007 x64 SP5
Fiber optic line running down to the server 2000? feet away
1 gig lines from PCs running to the fiber optic hub
1 gig ethernet cards in PCs
Server details -
2 terabites total space
1.8 terabites are taken up
approx 1 terabite is our design stuff
.8 terabite is other stuff that other empoyees are using for their own purposes (not design related)
We are always opening assemblies of 4-6,000 components
We are always searching to see where else a file is used
We do not use any sort of PDM and seem to have alot of problem getting work to pay for it. So for the moment we want to stick with the system we have and make sure we have the right setup to make it as fast as possible.
Suggestions?
The pros told us we have a straw going into a lake and have 8 people trying to drink out of it. They said having the sever right here in our group and only us running off from it will make us alot faster and alot more stable. We are all currently crashing (at the same time due to network failure) 2 times (or more) a day.
Any suggestions is appreciated.
