Data File Placement
When using remote and/or multiple servers, it is important to know where
to store your data so that the server(s) can access it. The following table
describes whether each type of data needs to be available to the Autodesk
MapGuide Server(s) or the web server. Note that the MapAgent does not need
access to data files, as it simply relays whatever data is sent to it from the
Autodesk MapGuide Server.
This type of
data...
Map source data
(SDFs, data
accessed using a
data extension,
raster images,
OLE DB data
sources)
Raster images in
web page (out-
side of map)
MWFs and MLFs

Additional Performance Considerations

In addition to using multiple servers, there are several ways in which you can
improve performance. Keep the following tips in mind when setting up your
site, authoring your maps, and preparing your data.
Site Configuration


Bandwidth is a critical factor. This includes internal and external band-
width, as well as network traffic (particularly at peak hours on the
Internet).


Your hardware has many factors that affect performance, including
processor speed, memory, and disk space.

Comments
The Autodesk MapGuide Server(s) pro-
cess the data, then send it to the
MapAgent to be relayed to Autodesk
MapGuide Author or Viewer.
The web server processes these files
because they are outside of the map.
Therefore, the Autodesk MapGuide
Server(s) do not need access to them.
The web server processes these files; the
