I am having an issue when connecting to the Centera device.  When my application starts up and makes it's first connection to the Centera, it is taking 28 seconds on average to complete the connection.  Is this normal?  If not is there a way that I can optimize my code to improve performance or is this more likely a network issue that needs to be resolved?  In an attempt to rule out a network issue, I deployed my application onto a server in the same network as the Centera but the connection time did not improve.  Once the connection is made everything seems to run fairly quickly overall.

I am utilizing the XAMSDK and the .NET Wrapper.

Here is the code that I am using to connect:

Dim centeraIP As String = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("CenteraIP").ToString

Dim centeraPEA As String = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("CenteraPEALocation").ToString

Dim xConn As String = String.Format("snia-xam://centera_vim!{0}?{1}", centeraIP, centeraPEA)

xlib = XAMLibrary.Instance

xsys = xlib.CreateXSystem(xConn)

If Not xsys.Authenticated Then

     xsys.Authenticate()

End If
