Cloud Connection Experience

[PeterHeintz]

Has anyone managed to get acceptable could connection to India e.g. from North America, Europe, Australia?
Currently our connection is pure (even no difference between ODBC and cloud according to my colleges in India), but I am not sure if our infrastructure is the problem or something more fundamental.

So I would be happy to hear from someone having good results, to find out if it is worth to improve what we have.

Peter,

I think you'll get better results with a terminal solution like Citrix or Remote Desktop Applications.

As a published app maybe but my experience of Sparx EA in remote desktops can only be described in works the mods don't allow us to use :-)

Really, because my experience is different, although I'm not sure if it makes a difference if you work with an RDP published app or plain remote desktop.
Anyway, I was a bit weary when the proposed this at one of my clients, but I must say that the experience is really OK. The fact that the client is so close to the server even has the advantage that it makes EA feel quicker then when connecting from a local client to a database server (even on a regular LAN)

Other clients use Citrix for the same thing, but I think prefer the RDP solution. There are somewhat less weird quirks in RDP then there are in Citrix.

But then again I might just be a lucky user. I live in a country where broadband internet access (+100 Mbps) is standard. So it might be a different story when you have a slower connection.

Thank you both, for your reply!
Citrix is also something I have in mind (just because provided by our IT) if cloud connection does not the job.
What still gives me a little hope, is the fact that our colleges in India state that they see no difference between ODBC and cloud connection currently.

Another option in mind is using version control, but this will slow down people with good connection and check in/out stuff in India will take some extra time as well.

To be fair I haven't tried it in a while, and the changes that Sparx were forced to make to the renderer may have improved the experience.  We may have low bandwidth in places in NZ but on the whole we have very low latency so VPN is generally a much better option.
