Applies to

  • Global File Cache (GFC) Edge
  • VPN users
  • Remote users    

Answer

  • All client computers should be in the local LAN network connected to GFC Edge.
  • In case of 'work from home' scenario, GFC performance is subject to many variables including quality of WAN link, VPN software and no performance guarantees can be made.
  • Its recomended that remote users should connect the the backend file server path directly.
