What are the bandwith requirments for the DC Solution? I am in the same boat
with one of my clients. Remote office users are connecting to corp server
via VPN but working on file is SLOW SLOW SLOW. I have Business class 1.5 up
and down at corp and 1 up and down at remote site. Would a copy of the share
files be cached localy and the the changes replicated at night? How does
this work?
