What does it mean by "100bt or 1000bt connection" ? Thanks
Citrix or just regular old Windows Terminal Server would to the trick.
How many GP clients are needed at each location? If it is only one or two, you might just setup some cheap workstations at the data center, configure them with the GP client, and open the RDP ports. The remote location can then RDP into the workstation and use GP. It is a cheap version of Terminal Server but restricted to one connection at a time. Another consideration is, if you have extra copies of Windows Server available, each server allows two RDP connections per box. You could install Windows Server onto a regular workstation box and each would support two remote users, and would not need extra Terminal Server CAL's. You will need to decide which is the most cost effective solution for your situation. But if you have spare workstations around, i would just set them up as I said.
Another option would be a web interface (custom code) that would pull the data needed by the remote locations and present it in a web site. This would use GP Web Services to pull the data. But this may be more expensive that the workstation/server RDP route because of the custom development costs.
Let me know if I can be of any further help.
