Optimize Adaptive Server Performance and Tuning

You can make changes to your Windows system to improve Adaptive Server performance. The Windows utilities let you monitor the Adaptive Server use of operating system resources—disk, memory, and I/O.

For more information, see Performance and Tuning Series.

• Using Dedicated Adaptive Server Operation
  Installing Adaptive Server on a dedicated computer improves performance, because the software does not have to share system resources with file and print server applications. However, Adaptive Server is not a foreground application, because it runs as a Windows service. Increasing the priority of Adaptive Server increases the CPU time available for the server.
• Disk Drives and Adaptive Server Performance
  The overall performance in an I/O-bound application is determined by the number of disk drives on a system, not by the amount of space available. A single disk drive may be unable to deliver the number of I/Os per second that are needed for your Adaptive Server application.
