Optimize Network Usage

Network problems, such as collisions, can occur when the volume of data to be transferred exceeds network capacity.

Follow these steps:

Ensure your network is fast enough to meet your needs.
Position your equipment strategically. Moving the client and server machines closer together physically will reduce network delays.
Schedule long-running processes, such as large checkin or checkout processes, during non-peak times to improve overall response time.
Use your operating system's data compression utilities to compress data before transferring it across the network.
Use disk drives directly mounted on your computer. Avoid use of drives attached over a network.
