Ideally, Adaptive Server is the only major application on a machine, and must share CPU, memory, and other resources only with the operating system and other Sybase® software such as Backup Server™.
Issues the operating system layer include:
The file systems available to Adaptive Server
Memory management – accurately estimating operating system overhead and other program memory use
CPU availability and allocation to Adaptive Server
Address these issues by:
Considering the network interface
Choosing between files and raw partitions
Increasing the memory size
Moving client operations and batch processing to other machines
Using multiple CPUs for Adaptive Server
