We run a trucking company dispatch system in house that run on SQL server. We just upgraded to SQL 2016 standard and a new windows 2016 virtual server. The server seems to be running ok, but I'm wondering about LAN speed effecting performance to the end users. We technically have a gigabit LAN, but we are still using Cisco 7945G phones, which have a 10/100 switch built into them and the desktops are looping through the phone.
Is there a performance gain when the software makes a SQL call to the server if we are on a gigabit network over a 10/100?
Looking at doing LAN hardware upgrades in early 2019 and want to plan the best options for us.
