Thanks for the info on the Riverbed devices. I'm going to check those out as I'm sure I'll need all the speed I can get for other apps.

It is actually faster to run Vantage on the client desktops at these locations rather than running them on Terminal Server!

We will be running Epicor 9 soon and we just learned that we will be adding a remote office in the near future. The Epicor 9 server will be in Wisconsin and the remote office is in Texas. It sounds like there might 3 or so users in Texas that will need to access Vantage. What are my options beside using terminal servers for this.

Thanks.

I thought Epicor 9 had a web based version of its client, could you use this ?.

TS is the simplest option or TS-plus-Citrix if you like the extra goodness that Citrix layers on top. TS in Server 2008 adds some of that same extra functionality as well (seamless windows, etc.)

In theory you can run Epicor over the WAN, but your mileage may vary. I got session timeouts. Other folks have had success. Epicor will tell you 'it must be something in your WAN/VPN' if you have problems.

E9 also has an ASP.NET-drive version of the client which runs in the browser (basically they have a web version of the client framework which lets you 'compile' ASP.NET versions of the client forms). Not all of the screens are available, but the basic client functionality is there. I've heard good reports on it from folks here.

We will be running Epicor 9 soon and we just learned that we will be adding a remote office in the near future. The Epicor 9 server will be in Wisconsin and the remote office is in Texas. It sounds like there might 3 or so users in Texas that will need to access Vantage. What are my options beside using terminal servers for this.

Thanks.

Simple but very effective, setup three CPU's in the computer room in
Badger Land with Vantage or whatever like local accounts. Use GOTOMYPC
for $9-$12 dollars per user per month access them. Give's you complete
control an GOTOMYPC is very simple to administer, manage, get usage
reports, etc... without adding a server to do this. I have ran a remote
warehouse this way on Vantage 6.1

We will be running Epicor 9 soon and we just learned that we will be
adding a remote office in the near future. The Epicor 9 server will be
in Wisconsin and the remote office is in Texas. It sounds like there
might 3 or so users in Texas that will need to access Vantage. What are

We run Vantage over MPLS and Internet IPSec VPNs right on the desktop. The Internet VPNs have a few users at each remote location (4-5). We use Riverbed WAN accelerators and they optimize the traffic to port 8301 by 90%. That means if you send 10MB of information back and forth between the client and Vantage normally, the Riverbeds make it so that only 1MB of information is send across the WAN! You have to adjust the connection timeouts in you IPSec VPN devices though. We use SonicWALLs for our IPSec VPNs. The Riverbeds also optimize CIFS traffic and Printing traffic. It is actually faster to run Vantage on the client desktops at these locations rather than running them on Terminal Server!

I had almost the same experience at a previous company. Those Riverbed
WAN accelerators are awesome to say the least!

We will be running Epicor 9 soon and we just learned that we will be

Epicor Anywhere or what ever they call it now is far from prime time and works no where nearly like they claim. I was suckered in and purchased some license's for that only to find out that you still need a far amount of bandwidth for it.
