topic Question about Best Practices for ArcSDE in Data Management Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/question-about-best-practices-for-arcsde/m-p/31003#M1677 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hello,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If I have a server running ArcSDE on SQL 2008 R2 Enterprise, would it be best practice to also install ArcGIS Server Enterpise 10.1 on the same server? The reason I am asking is because when I deploy a new service through ArcMap 10.1, it's giving me warnings that my layer's data source is ArcSDE and not accessed via direct connection. Should I move my ArcGIS Server software to the same server where ArcSDE resides to clear this warning message and hopefully get a performance boost?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Igor</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:32:01 GMT IgorBalotsky1 2013-03-21T17:32:01Z Question about Best Practices for ArcSDE https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/question-about-best-practices-for-arcsde/m-p/31003#M1677 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hello,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If I have a server running ArcSDE on SQL 2008 R2 Enterprise, would it be best practice to also install ArcGIS Server Enterpise 10.1 on the same server?
