Hi all,
We currently run a few access back ends on our corporate shared drives. Unfortunately the network drives are often very slow and I'm constantly getting emails asking if I can do anything about it.
Instead of hosting the file on the network shared drives (the hardware for this is located off site) I'm thinking of hosting the back ends on a PC that is local to our site. The computer that would be running this is an I3 processor with 4 gig of RAM running windows xp. I'm wondering if this would speed things up at all (since it's on the local network) and if the machine would be able to handle approximately 40 concurrent connections.
Anyone have any experience of this? Any suggestions or issues you've encountered?
Thanks
