I don't know whether there's a clear answer on whether separating the MT function is better performance-wise on the whole than combining it with the AR Server. The real dividing lines on that revolve around issues like security, application function, corporate policies on hosting apps, geographic distribution of the user base, robustness of the various network channels, etc.
I think an 8x8 server would probably work just fine for both, though a 4x8 would probably work about as well. Make sure you read the white paper on multi-threading and CPU usage, so that you use the CPUs as efficiently as you can. Rick On 11/16/06, Simmons, Theodore J. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
So is it recommended keeping the two separate MID Tier and Resource? On another note, I did confirm that the configurations originally posted were a typo. Would a 8 processor 8 GB RAM HP Server be good for both? -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of strauss Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2006 10:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Mid Tier and Resource on Same Server No kidding - I've got 10gb RAM and dual opterons under both SQL Server 2005 and the AR server 7.0.01 (separate servers now, but originally shared during our early testing) and I am ordering another box equally strong for mid-tier because the 6gb RAM dual Xeon machine I have mid-tier on right now is inadequate to the task. This is definitely hogzilla software when it comes to hardware resources. And yes, these are all HP DL385s but storage is local or attached SCSI, not SAN.

I'm glad Rick spoke up first. 7.x is a memory hog. Go to 8GB of RAM to be on the safe side. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Cook Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2006 9:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Mid Tier and Resource on Same Server ** Oh, Ted, don't even think about running that combo on anything less than 4 GB of RAM, and for your usage, I would think even that to be probably on the low end of acceptable. Who would build an 8x server with just 1 GB RAM? That makes no sense at all. It isn't adequate for any of the tasks, much less all of them.

The alternative would be to use one of the below configurations for Resource only and then use MID Tier on a shared IIS server. Expected 120 users of ITSM and using the Mid Tier as a Requestor to the greater corporate environment of 5000 users. The server would be a standalone box dedicated only to Remedy.
