We are running ARS 7.1 patch 006 with ITSM 7.0.03 patch 007. The applications for the most part have been out of the box implementations, we have made some customizations but they have been minor in scope. Our application servers are dual 3.0ghz Xeon boxes with 8gb of memory running windows 2003 Enterprise. The database is Oracle 11 on a Sun V440 4 CPU 32gb memory dedicated box. Both the application server and database are on gigabit network connections. This has been bugging me for a while and I can't seem to figure out why the application server and database for the most part sit there at an idle, yet we have lackluster performance of the remedy system in regards to the customer experience on the desktop and web client. The performance is not terrible, however due to the under utilization of the hardware I would expect better response than what we are seeing.
What I'm looking for is some pointers or documentation someone might know about that would help to identify anything that would be causing this behavior. I have read the scalability white papers published by BMC, which closely mirrors our configuration and this has been of little value.
