Windows
Performance
By
default
the
Windows
performance
settings
are
set
to
‘Applications’.
However,
testing
should
define
the
best
setting.
The
recommended
settings
under
Control
Panel,
System,
Advanced,
performance
are:
•
Let
Windows
choose
what’s
best
for
my
computer
Under
Advanced:
•
Background
services
•
System
cache
Opening
a
test
group
with
more
than
the
recommended
number
of
objects
(for
example
5000)
can
be
a
good
test
using
the
EEPC
server
connection
(not
through
a
local
connection).
Another
test
is
to
create
and
delete
100
users
and
systems
using
the
command
line
tool
SBADMCL
through
a
test
batch
file.
Managing
Audits
The
audit
of
the
users
and
systems
can
slow
down
the
database.
It
is
recommended
you
schedule
EEPC
command
line
tool
SBADMCL
to
cleanup
machine
audit
and
the
user
audit.

File
Cache
on
Raid
Hard
Drive
Controller
Let
the
Object
Directory
host
server
have
the
largest
possible
file
cache
on
the
RAID
Hard
Drive
controller.
This
Hardware
device
will
increase
the
file
‐
access
speed
dramatically.
NOTE
:
if
cache
is
enabled
on
RAID
controllers,
use
UPS
backup
for
power
failure
protection,
because
a
power
failure
can
lead
to
a
data
loss
as
writes
may
be
still
held
in
cache.
Connection
Speed
The
speed
between
the
remote
servers
and
the
file
servers
is
crucial.
Make
those
connections
dedicated
high
speed
connections,
e.g.
Gigabit
Ethernet
or
Fibre.
It
is
usually
recommended
you
have
a
single
server
located
on
the
same
dedicated
server,
rather
than
multiple
EEPC
Database
servers
connecting
in
from
remote
server
systems.
