Hi
Just wondering if any body can help.
We are in the process of installing a new server for a customer and came across the readprobe utility. We thought it would be a good idea to see what the difference in performance would be so ran readprobe on the new server and the results seem to drop by half for every new users connecting.
The customer is not using the enterprise database just the workgroup one.
New server is a 3ghz Xeon 5050 dual core server with 2Gb at the moment (4Gb later) and SAS Raid 10 disk array
We ran readprobe on the sports database and initially got 80,000 reads per second. When two users were connect we got 40,000, three user 20,000 until about 1300 read per second on average.
Is this normal?
Looking at the old test results we are a long way below them.
Are customers are only using databases of 200mb and around the 25user mark and are not complaining about performance on the old server but the results do seem a little strange.
Hope somebody can help
Thanks
