For kicks and giggles...

  • What would you say (moreso the wording) to your boss about the server depicted in the attached image?

    😉

    As a foreword on this, when I took this snap the server was undergoing some routine index maintenance...CPU < 50%, everything else in the normal ranges...

  • Also prolly good to know

    C - OS, reporting services, general software

    D - Main Data files

    F - Index Files and some TempDB files

    T - Log files

  • I would say that your performance bottleneck on the server is on the D and F drives and that it can be improved by investing in a SCSI raid configuration and placing your Indexes on SSD devices. This is similar to the solution Microsoft uses on their Hotmail servers to improve performance in searching email.

  • I guess what I'd say depends on the situation. Is your boss or your are your users coming to you saying "Hey, application X is really slow" where application X depends on this particular instance/server? Or is everyone delightfully oblivious to the situation?

  • "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

    oops did not read the other post

    What's on D, F and T drives?
