Hi All,
Our production environment is:
Win2K Terminal
Progress 9.1D08 Enterprise db (60GB)
2 * 2.8 Intel Xeon Processors
4GB RAM
#Users – Approx 200?
This setup works relatively well. There is an overnight process that takes several hours. However, if this process, (heaven forbid) fails, for whatever reason, the process then has to be run during the day. This is closely, followed by squeals from the users that the system is slow?
So the rational at the moment is to put two additional processors into the machine.
On the surface my answer is yes, as the machine has the capacity for it. However, before spending the $$’s for the extra two processors, I need to know, will Progress address the processors and therefore improve performance, and therefore achieve better processing times for large jobs. Or, will it be an expensive lemon just, sitting there chewing electricity?
I know the OS will address the extra processors, but I am not so sure what the RDBMS will do with it?
Any pointers to URL’s, white papers, etc would be appreciated.
TIA
Robert
