Hi, hopefully this is a simple question, but I'm confused on this, so quick setup -
Automotive shop office with 6 workstations, all access a repair order/customer info sql database that is stored on a separate 'server' computer. We have some stuttering issues when multiple computers are accessing at the same time. Currently 1gbe on all devices, all workstations are 'good enough' hardware, 'server' holds database on optane drive, so shouldn't have much in way of hardware bandwidth issues.
I want to install a 10gbe card into the 'server' and a 10gbe switch, to potentially open up a slight bottleneck. Can I use a unmanaged switch, with a 1gbe router attached, and still get potential increase in bandwidth from the server, or does the 1gbe router play into this as well.
I understand higher bandwidth limit does not equate to faster access times, and that I may not see much if any gains from this setup, but just wondering if the router speed is going to limit the speeds through the switch. I only understand this stuff enough to follow guides to make things work. Thanks for any insight!
