Re: Witango-Talk: Setting up multiple Witango boxes

Do not get dual core, or hyper threaded processors, or you will have to buy a license for each core to take advantage. If you have 1 standard license, per server, then you need to get the FASTEST single core, non hyper threaded machine you can find, for the best witango performance on a single server.

Hyperthreading, although 1 core, looks to the OS as 2 cpus, so witango will only bind to one logical CPU, and then you get half the performance. Same with dual core, it will only bind to one of the cpus.

Unfortunately, there is no documentation, and witango should provide it, but I haven't seen any for this since Tango 2000, but I think it has been detailed on the list.

I know a number of you have done this but I can't seem to find any instructions on doing this anywhere. We are outstripping our current hardware as we grow and slowly transition to another language. We need to gain capacity for processing Witango queries and plan on getting two new servers, dual core, strictly for processing Witango requests. I have two questions:
 
   1. Can Witango currently take advantage of dual core processors and
   2. Are there instructions anywhere that someone can point me to explaining how to set up an environment similar to the following:

   If anyone can direct me to instructions, and offer pitfalls to watch out for I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
 
   Oh, we will be using Witango 5.5 professional on each Windows server box. Yes, we're planning on purchasing 2 additional licenses. *grins*
