NETWORK SPEED OR SERVER SPEED ?
Hello Experts,
We have two different lans:
LAN A - WORKING WITH SERVER win 2008 WITH DOMAIN, NETWORK CARDS 100 MBPS
LAN B - WORKING WITH SERVER 2012 using WORKGROUP, NETWORK CARDS 1 GB
It so happens that with the same App and query LAN A is like 300 % faster tan LAN B
Server in LAN A is even doing virtualization. Dont have technical data of this server since our App only has access to a virtual machine.
Server in LAN B is not doing virtualization. it is an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 3E 1220 V2 @ 3.1 GHz 3.1 GHz 8 Gb RAM 64 bit.
So based on this information, what would you say is the main advantage LAN A has that makes queries of the same App 300% FASTER ?
Is it the speed of the server ?
The speed of the network cards does not count ?
Is it the domain in LAN A ?
Bottom line, What can I do to make LAN B as fast as LAN A ?
Regards,

Upgrade (or downgrade) the network card drivers. (ODDS ARE, especially if it's not your VMs, it's something else but I've seen this have a huge impact with certain buggy drivers when Hyper-V VMs have been slow).

LAN A is using a server with more RAM and SSD as far as I was able to learn from the administrator.
Also the speed test of network went as predicted.
Thanks to all experts.

First thing to try: Copy a large file. (At least 2Gb) form each server to a workstation. A 2Gb file, all being well should transfer in maybe 30sec or so on a Gb LAN.
