Hi Paul,
Without knowing a lot more details about the system and how it's used, it's
difficult to give any meaningful reply. Regardless, even if every subscriber
to the list said, "Don't let them do it!" this would be an opinion ("don't do
it") vs facts (hard data showing unused resources) situation, and the server
team is likely to get their way after all is said and done.
If the server people want to reduce the CPUs, I suggest you agree to the plan.
At the very least, you're generating social capital with a team where your
application is dependent on their service. Just capture some before-the-change
metrics to have as factual evidence in case the reduction produces negative
effects.
FWIW,
--Phil

Subject: Experience with running Remedy 9.1 in the POC hardware config?
**
Hey gang,
We currently have about 125 concurrent users and we are in the Small Hardware
Config. My server group wants to reduce the number of CPUs from 8 to 4 on the
main SQL server which is running Windows Sever 2012 R2 and SQL Server 2014.
They have stats stating that we are barely using the CPU power. Does any about
our size have experience running with less than the recommended hardware? Did
you have problems when contacting BMC support? Thanks.
