Need specifications for the new server setup ?

  • Dear Experts,

    We are going to plan for a new SQL 2005 db server setup and application as well.

    Can any one please suggest me the specifications configuration to support a Strong DB Server which never and ever lets down in performance wise and the timeout errors.

    Database : 30 Gb - globalised

    Users : 1500 - users in 24 hrs (Might increase )

    64Bit SQL Server 2005.

    The above info is of initial. Please let me know as this is very urgent for us to submit the info to our client...

    Thanks,

    CH&HU

  • 30 Gig is a small size database meaning you shouldn't see backend performance issues providing data modeling and physical implementation are reasonable well done. Most of your performance issues are gonna come most probably from the application side.

    Either way...

    ...Is it for OLTP or DSS applicaiton?

    ...How many concurrent users?

    ...Transaction size?

    ...Replication?

    ...

  • Its OLTP Application.

    We do plan for Replication or Log shipping.

    Concurrent users will be 300 everytime.

    DB Size is of 30 GB initially and we are going to load other data as well. by this it will reach to 140 GB hope so..

    Its to setup for production environment.

  • Can anyone have a look into this and help me ???

  • It is really hard to give specific advice as lot of the answers really depend on what you are using the database for, how the application code has been written and what the budget of your client is.

  • Not a big problem for budget but it must suits for BEST.

    Only single application with 6 databases will be loaded on the server. Applicatio runs under SharePoint 2003 / 2007

    Thanks,

    CH&HU.

    You just answered you question, call a couple of hardware vendors and ask for the BEST they can offer 😀
