simple question

  • We are thinking about separate Sqlserver from webserver into two different servers, but don't know the performance will be affected or not. If do, how much? Like the data access time.

    Thanks

  • Simple question, but not a simple answer !!

  • Sorry, for the limited information.

    We are running a e-commerce website, the website, warehouse management software all need to access database frequently, and average transaction is about 25000 to 30000 a day. So need some advices for this.

    Thanks

  • You should put SQL Server on its own server and then create a backplane between SQL Server and your webserver, so that only internal traffic follows between the SQL Server and your webserver.  You could even set it up on a GIG backplane. 

    25,000-30,000 trans a day should be a fine over a network. 

  • I will add on that we have multiple web servers that back each other up and the talk to a clustered pair of SQL Servers.  So yes seperate them, it will let you achieve better fault tolerance.  Do put a fast network communications between them however.

     

    Good luck.

  • Thanks a lot. Will try it.
