Decentralization to Decrease Latency

  • Does anyone have pointers to white papers or books, articles, posts, anything, on best practices & methods around maintaining two servers, say one in NYC and another in Melbourne or Sydney, in order to cut down the latency for the end users to access data? Special emphasis on SQL Server 2005 technologies would be appreciated.

    I've been looking, but I just can't find anything. Thanks for your time.

  • I don't know of anything that will help out here, other than hiring an expert who can guide/assist you in this endeavour.

    Best of luck with your project!  Sounds like fun.  🙂

  • have you thought about merge replication.  That should keep both datasets up to date yet, you can specify which SQL server the end user connects to.

  • Thank you. Yes, that is on the list as a possibility. I'm just trying to explore the space and I'm not finding much in the way of documented approaches.
