I have merge replication setup on a publisher SQL Server with subscriber instances of the database on different locations with different SANs. This is used for running a vendor-supported application.
I notice that there is a significant delay between locations - one location is faster than this other. The application uses the database at the local subscribers. However, when I open the application in one location vs another location, application functionality is slow.
Would this likely be purely hardware related. If so, what are some of the things that I should look at?
