Hardware Experiences for KNIME AP via Remote

Hello fellow KNIMErs

I’m looking for experiences and best practices from people using KNIME AP via remote.

We’re running 5.2.5 on a virtualized EPYC 7543 32C server with 256GB RAM allocated, using it via rdweb, unfortunately I can’t get the exact configuration as I’m just an end user.

Using AP is really sluggish, latency by pinging the server is around 7-10ms so I wouldn’t blame it on that.

I’m not sure if it’s an inherent issue with rdweb or if running it on server hardware is the culprit.

Running 5.8 locally on my office laptop works a lot better but I can’t use it that way as our IT doesn’t allow direct DB access.

My idea would be trying to get a workstation (ThinkStation P8 or similar) for each location that we can share via remote, not sure if that helps or if it’s more tied to the fact that we have to use it remotely via web interface in the first place.

I’d be happy for some insights.

Note: We have around 150 people globally using KNIME AP so getting a workstation for each is probably not realistic.
