HW & SW configuration

[paprita]

I'm buying 2 new servers, one for db (SQL 2000) and one for service ... both servers will be equiped with Windows 2003 server (2008 in the future).

I'd like to ask:
- I understand that the more HW equiped are them, the more performances is lansweeper, but what do you think should be a good compromise between costs and HW equiped for each server? One or two processors? Dual or quad core? How much RAM? I was direct my choice on 2 servers equiped with one single quad core processors with 4GB RAM ... you know I have much more than 10.000 PC on my network ...

- I'm using SQL 2000: do you think could be better to upgrade to SQL 2008? Do you know a rapid/secure mode to "pass" all data from 2000 to 2008? ... I think itsn't easy ...

You can change it on lsmanage

While I'm waiting for new servers, I'm trying a new solution to increase Lansweeper speed ...

I've make a short analisys of time of each process and I've seen that follow scans are very long to do:

- Autorun 
- Codec 
- Comapplication 
- Dcomapp 
- Environment 
- Process 
- Quickfix 
- Registry 
- Services 
- Software 
- Usersingroup 

I use Lansweeper primary for hardwre, O.S. and users and I'm not very interested in such data ... I've configured scanning for these components to 10.000 days and now Lansweeper is much faster ... I'll give you more informations as soon as possible.

In first 2 hours I have 2.500 scanned PC ... 2 or 3 times faster than before ...

Ok ... I'm trying to have 2 new servers (I hope in september); each one:
- 2 Intel CPU Quad Core 2,5 GHz (8 core: not too bad);
- 4 GB RAM;
- 1 HD SAS 15 Krpm.

What do you think about? Do you think I'll reach 50 processes at the same time?

Sure, shouldn't be a problem.

I would take 2 or more HardDisks so you can do raid 1 or raid 5
