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... Must be available Comments to... Map source data (SDFs, data accessed using a data provider, raster images, OLE DB data sources) All Autodesk MapGuide Server installations The Autodesk MapGuide Server(s) processes the data, then sends it to the MapAgent to be relayed to Autodesk MapGuide Author or Viewer. Raster images in Web page (outside of map) Web server The Web server processes these files because they are outside of the map. Therefore, the Autodesk MapGuide Server(s) does not need access to them. MWFs, MWXs, and MLFs Web server The Web server processes these files; the Autodesk MapGuide Server(s) does not need access to them. 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. Architecture and Performance | 61
