One of the major applications we use the most is AutoCAD. We want to enable all our data in our main office, and all the employees in the branch offices work in real time over the WAN links. We want to upgrade, as all our projects are the product of work progressed by employees physically located in all five of our offices.

Any experiences with real live production happening over the WAN using C3D or Revit?

Thanks in advance.

Revit may depend more on the reliability and capacity of your WAN links. Civil 3D shares data on the file level, Revit on the workset (object) level.
 
But with adequately "thick" WAN lines you can use both AutoCAD Civil 3D and Revit in the same way as on LAN (which is used very often).

I also work in an AutoCAD (currently using 2005) environment. I was wondering how people are dealing with the Revit issues? My users complain of how slow Revit is over the link.

You must look for some WAN optimization kit to solve the issues.

Do you want to say that I must have adequate "thick" WAN lines? or what...?

Are you using T1 line(point to point T1, no firewall in between) or what?

If so,then I must tell you that T1 line is very slower than your LAN even that has impact on your application performance. If you really need to run files 'live' over the T1, you definitely need to go for some WAN-optimization kit.

If you really need to speed things up, you might want to go for T3 (44Mbps). Not sure of the cost difference, but time is money.

The DS3 is the data carried on a T3 circuit. As far as cost to access is concerned, the price calculation has two distance steps: geomapping and the determination of local price arrangements. We need to figure out the time we will be using these carrier lines in order to manage costs.

Please be aware that increasing the 'pipe' size will not necessarily give the performance boost you are looking for. It will heavily depend on the physical distance between the two sites. Distance is the main contributer to latency (or network delay).

The greater the delay, the more likely that a WAN link will be limited in real throughput not by the pipe size - at which point bigger pipes will make NO difference to a single users experience. This is not to say that bigger pipes are not useful, particularly when you need more users using that link at the same time.

And this leads to WAN optimizers, there primary purpose being to significantly reduce the effect of latency and also reduce the data traveling over the link.
