We are looking at rolling out Vault 2012 to approx. 50 users in 5 sites and we have not decided whether to have a local Vault server/SQL server at each site, or use one server located at a datacenter.
What I am hoping to do is to do some comparison tests with the local Vault server and the remote datacenter server. I can use single 3D Inventor parts, complex Inventor assemblies and 2D Autocad drawings.
I would appreciate any advice on how I can do some useful speed/timing testing that will provide good feedback on what solution is best for us.
I was trying to list some test parameters but all I have come up with so far is
1. Check out Inventor part
2. Make changes and check in
3. Check out complex assembly
4. Change part of assembly and check in.
And for each point, I would record "Time taken on local server" and "Time taken on remote server"
What further testing can I carry out on Vault functionality?
