Re: Increase bandwidth for VPN users

Additionally, you can RWW to the TS from any computer anywhere. (so long as
it will accept the Active X control).

More secure than VPN, much smaller impact on the band width.

Allows you to do read and compose your company email from anywhere on any
computer.

The bandwidth will make a difference, no doubt.

Depending on the cost of that solution though, you might look into
installing a Terminal Server in Application Sharing Mode along side the
SBS. The Terminal Server hosts the users desktop, and is local to the data
so all that needs travel over the connection is the screen update and
mouse/keyboard clicks.

A huge added advantage is that you need no applications installed on the
remotes - nothing to maintain or update other than your TS.

Thanks for the quick reply!

This is configured on my server however I've never really used it because
I
didn't think it was beneficial in our environment. Doesn't Remote Web
Workplace just allow a user to connect to their computer remotely? kind
of
like a PC anywhere connection. The problem is all of our users are issued
laptops so they wouldn't be able to connect to their laptop because it
isn't
physically in the office.

Or am I missing something?

I'm just really an novice when it comes to Remote Web Workplace because
even
though I know it's there and it works on our server I've just never
bothered
to do anything with it at all.

Best advice I can give you is to use RWW instead of VPN.

I am running a Small Business Server 2003 R2 environment. The server is
less
than two years old has dual 2 MHz Xeon processors and 4 GB of RAM. We
are
running into an issue where our users are beginning to complain about
the
shared bandwidth they are receiving when connecting remotely through
VPN.

My assumption is that this is due to the limited bandwidth of our
Internet
connection which is a single T-1 1.5 Mb connection. When I test this
from
my
home which is connected to the Internet via broadband, generally my
speed
to
the Internet once I establish a VPN is anywhere between 200 kbs - 400
kbs.

I am currently considering the purchase of a bonded T1 which will give
us
a
bandwidth of 6 Mb per second. My question is how much can I expect
this
to
improve the available bandwidth for my users? I'm wondering if the
limitation
I'm experiencing in routing and remote access or if quadrupling the
bandwidth
is going to improve the shared bandwidth for my users.
