We are in the process of upgrading our hardware and need guidance to what we should look at…our issue is performance
Currently have 3 terminal servers win serv 2003 4GB, 32bit , sql server win serv 2003 32bit, 4gb and Netapp for disks. the database is 150GB and 120GB log file
80 users all through TS…NAV 4 SP3 heavily customised as well
50 extra users in about 6-12mnths
I have been told by others that Blade servers and virtualisation is the way to go to improve performance.
About “Navision on SQL DB” hardware you can read here in forum --it’s discussed extensively already, do some search-- but more likely problems can arise on TS computers, not SQL, as you said you have 80+ users all on TS. How the load is distributed between your 3 TS servers? Keep in mind every TS session consumes memory, maybe 4GB is not enough - but TS hardware requirements you can get from corresponding MS site, how much RAM they consider per every TS session.
