V8.03 on 32-bit with 4GB RAM

Yahoo Archive
1
We are running Win2003 R2 64bit, (Dual Core)3.0GHz Opteron, 8GB RAM,
(4)10K drives in RAID-10, gigabit ethernet switches, and MSSQL 2005
Enteprise. There are usually 15 users at any time. The system seems
to work fine.

We went live with v8 yesterday, and naturally now that we have a full
load on the system, we're running into a few performance problems.

For those of you running v8 on a 32-bit Server 2003 system (where the
maximum amount of RAM supported by the system is 4GB) with a
quad-processor, can anyone validate that the numbers listed in the
Performance Tuning Guide (Progress) result in decent performance? In
other words, we've basically followed the guide almost to the letter,
but I'm wondering if anyone has found specific parameters that make a
significant difference in similar configurations?

Thanks!

The guide is only a guide...

Your actual system requirements would vary depending on number of users, modules
and whatever else you have on the system(hopefully nothing else).

Product Configurator would warrant more RAM, more than 25 or so user would
warrant more RAM, high transaction volume would warrant more RAM, high print
queues would warrant more RAM.

Personally, I haven't seen anyone running Vantage 8.X be successful with only
4GB of RAM.

We went live with v8 yesterday, and naturally now that we have a full
load on the system, we're running into a few performance problems.

For those of you running v8 on a 32-bit Server 2003 system (where the
maximum amount of RAM supported by the system is 4GB) with a
quad-processor, can anyone validate that the numbers listed in the
Performance Tuning Guide (Progress) result in decent performance? In
other words, we've basically followed the guide almost to the letter,
but I'm wondering if anyone has found specific parameters that make a
significant difference in similar configurations?

Thanks!

I hope you are not just coming off of Vantage 6? Because that would
be a terrible comparsion to Vantage 8.03. Vantage 8.03 is a resource
hog and is much slower than Vantage 6. We are still in the testing
phase, but we went with Windows 2003 Enterprise and 8 GB of RAM. It
is an improvement over Windows 2003 Standard edition. But I can not
give you any statistics on how much improvement. Is the speed
anything close to Vantage 6. Because Vantage 8.03 does so much more.

I hope that give you some type of answer.

Good Day
