title: Data transfer between local server and AWS server
body: <p>We have an ASP.NET MVC 5 web application that reads data locally from within the same server. This server is in Europe. However when trying to read the same data from an AWS server based in Sidney the lag is many times greater. A ping from our local server to the AWS server in Australia takes 5 seconds. The data needs to be located in Australia because of data protection laws issued by the Australian Government. The database is MySQL. We have created a VPN between both servers and made no difference. </p>
  
  <p>What are our options in order to improve the speed between these two servers?</p>
