Are your works Network this bad
Does anybody else here have a dire network at work?
Yesterday I tried to upload to the network some 4GB of data from a DVD to our server in Windsor (I’m based in Stansted) This would take 3 to 4 hours. So I gave up and scheduled this to run after work, I copied the DVD and verified this in less than 15 minutes.
What gets on my goat is that all my data is on the network and I have days where I want to throw my computer out of the dam window, and we just have to raise stupid helpdesk forms.
This morning I tried to delete data from the network that I needed to replace from the network, this took nearly 2 hours to complete, copying 750MB’s worth of data took over 5 hours.
Apparently this data has to go via Northampton to get to Windsor.
I cannot go via works citrix as this data was downloaded from the web and IT block it from seeing the C: drive

Re: Are your works Network this bad
Sounds like you're on high speed broadband connections to the other locations only, not direct peering links via fibre/ethernet etc. Its bound to be slow if thats the case!

Yes but the upload won't be 6Mbps will it. More likely to be 448-768Kbps maximum. Not fast at all.

Re: Are your works Network this bad
Our internet connection is only a 2Meg SDSL line and it serves 800 pc's and 46 servers, the difference is that we have 100Meg lan extensions to our remotes sites(apart from one on a 10Meg lan extension).

Re: Are your works Network this bad
Ours is a bit like that, we shunt a lot of data in and out of our network to remote sites and it can lag a bit now and then but our biggest gripe is our email provider being so unreliable at times. Yesterday was the first day in a long time we didn't lose connection to our mail servers. One day our boss will let us bring email in house lol.

I find that highly unlikely given that he uploaded the DVD after work in 15 minutes

Re: Are your works Network this bad
You could send the IT manager at your place a link to Riverbed's website. The last place I worked at had Riverbed Steelhead web accelerators at each of the sites and we had the equivalent of a 100Mb connection during file transfers, very handy if you're using full DFS replication across sites.

Re: Are your works Network this bad
Nah - we have multiple 1GB links to Janet, and diverse 1GB between sites, and the smaller sites have 100MB LES circuits - I have happy customers.....
