[firebase-br] Servidores win 2000e 2003 - parte 6

[Valdir Marcos]

Pessoal, bom dia.

Na documentação do IB6 e na internet eu achei um conjunto de informações sobre o FB em servidores, em especial, sobre o Win NT.
Alguém poderia me dizer se essas informações que passarei nas próximas mensagens são válidas também para os servidores win 2000 e 2003?

Obrigado,

Valdir Marcos


Use a dedicated server

Using a server for both workgroup file and print services and as a database server is like

letting another user play a video game on your workstation. It detracts from the

performance of the workstation, and it's not the intended use for the machine.

Use a secondary server as the file and print server, and a new machine for the database

server. Alternately, use the secondary server for InterBase, depending on the relative

priority of these tasks-the database server benefits from having a dedicated machine,

even if it is not the fastest model available. Whatever is the most important service should

be given the best machine as dedicated hardware.

If performance is a high priority, you can spend money more effectively by buying a

dedicated machine instead of trying to increase resources such as RAM on a machine that

is providing another competing service. Compare the cost of the hardware with the cost

of having less than maximum performance.

Similarly, it is best to put a database on a dedicated drive, so that the database I/O doesn't

compete with the operating system virtual memory paging file or other operating system

I/O. See "Making drives specialized" on page 246.
