    Hi all,

    is there anyone who has experience in deploying CRM in a distributed (or at least geographically sparse) scenario?

    I have a client who has locations around the globe with sometimes poor network connection. They are asking whether there is a way to install multiple CRM Servers or maybe just one additional one in SE Asia and replicate somehow.

    Any other suggestion on how to provide performance globally?

    Thanks!

    CRM is specifically not designed to be distributed across multiple SQL environments for a number of reasons (most of which are business rules oriented); however there are things that can help AND there are numerous large corporations running CRM in internationally disperse offices.
     
    WAAS do make a difference when it comes to Latency issues.
    Also you might want to read all the new white papers from Microsoft on performance. There are a number of them.

    If you have not upgraded to v4.0 that is a big one and if you can SQL 2008 has a number of key features that are all performance oriented.
