I read an article about using an Itanium
server with 12 GB of memory, enough to hold the DIT entirely in memory. The
LDAP performance went up by a factor of five compared to a similarly sized 32
bit machine, if I remember correctly. If performance really is an issue then
this may help you out. Perhaps Guido or another HP guy cares to comment on
this, since they build those boxes? -- Regards, Willem From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of As
part of a more general AD design refresh, I am re-visiting the DC hardware and
OS configuration. I
am proposing several changes to the DC spec, including the adoption of the
following:
In
order to 'sell' this idea, I would like to demonstrate the effective increase
in 'horse power' that the above offers. I am therefore looking for a tool which
can help me to show that a DC with config A can handle load x whilst DC spec B
can handle load y. Ideally,
this tool will act much like loadsim and simulate a load on the DC so as to
identify the maximum load that each config is capable of handling. Is
there such a tool available on the market? Thanks
in advance, Neil
