Presumably the reason for centralising the ETL tool is to share it and save on licensing costs. Unfortunately you will fight the performance / cost battle. Obviously this depends on how much work the ETL server will be doing, how evenly that will be spread out across the day, how complex the ETL processes are, etc. You may find that the solution works perfectly well - or you may not.

In terms of the network connection being 100MBit... How much other traffic is sharing that? If the servers are physically close it may even be practical to use a cross-over cable directly between them. If not you probably want a switch at least to cut the traffic down. We currently use gigbit ethernet directly between our app and db servers for performance, with 100 MBit cards connecting the rest of the world (figuratively speaking).

Of course you could also consider reducing traffic slightly by turning the ETL server into the Staging server for flat files if you have the capacity.

Hopefully the situation works out for you.

Mark.

I've never see that approach. Last spring, I've worked at a "rich" client where there was 23 Oracle consultants and Oracle Warehouse Builder was installed on several servers instead of being installed in a central fashion.

I agree that the ETL tool should drive the whole show.

As for the network between the servers I think it's 100 megabits.
