Optimize SQL Servers and The Scaling Decision
There comes a time in every database production environment when you must decide whether or not to scale hardware systems. There are variables such as time frames and budgets that make this decision very difficult. A very significant decision is choosing to scale up or scale out.
Scaling up involves moving databases and applications to a greater level of hardware with better processors, increased memory capability, and quicker disk drives. Using higher levels of system resource could require you to scale up the production environment to be certain that end users are receiving the best experience.
Get additional SQL Server Optimization information.
Scaling out means to implement the use of federated servers where data is partitioned or replicated across them. Examples include functional partitioning of CRM or ERP functionality on different servers and horizontal data partitioning across multiple databases.
Consider SQL Server Performance Tuning
Ensure that scaling up or scaling out is a necessity. Performing the proper SQL server performance tuning can aid you in making that decision. Many performance and scalability problems can be solved by optimizing the SQL server. The decision to scale up or scale out should be set aside until SQL server databases and applications are optimized by analyzing past trends and wait time performance information.
Many bottlenecks in performance like unprepared SQL statements, substandard indexes, and inefficient locking that contribute to greater workloads for CPUs and memory input/out use can be fixed with SQL server optimization instead of scaling up hardware systems.
Should You Scale Up Or Scale Out?
After you have done the proper SQL server optimization, and still are having performance problems, the next decision must be to scale up or scale out. It is common to scale up first. Even though scaling up may require significant expenditures, it is easier and more efficient than scaling out. Scaling up involves the replacement of existing hardware with newer and faster hardware and/or incorporating new equipment to an existing configuration.
If scaling up still hasn't solved your performance problems, the next decision to make is to scale out and implement a federated server environment. Cutting back on the work each individual server must do will probably eliminate any performance issues that still occur.
Scaling out is a great solution for those who simply don't have the budget for new hardware. If you currently have sufficient, or almost sufficient server capacity, you have the opportunity to significantly diminish expenditures. The biggest decision here is deciding if the money saved is worth the increased complexity of managing a federated server environment.
Discover more benefits of SQL Server Optimization.
Optimize First, Scale Later
It is imperative to repeat that proper optimization at the database and application levels is the least expensive and most efficient way to enhance performance. You should be able to eliminate the need for scaling up or out if you focus server performance tuning on the database and application levels. Be sure to exhaust all optimization options before going through the expense and added complexities of scaling.

A Developer's Guide to SQL Server 2005: $6.24 I come from a T-SQL background, so when I first laid my eyes on SQL Server 2005, I was shocked--and then, I was scared! I didn't have a CLR or XML background and suddenly had an urgent need to learn it. SQL Server 2005 is too big of a release to learn from the books online. Fortunately, now there is a book for developers who need to go from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 and to do it as painlessly as possible. Basically, it's one-stop shopping for serious developers who have to get up to speed quickly. I'll keep this one on my desk--not on my bookshelf. Well done, Bob and Dan! --Dr. Tom Moreau SQL Server MVP and Monthly Columnist SQL Server Professional, Brockman Moreau Consulting Inc. A SQL book truly for developers, from two authorities on the subject. I'll be turning to this book first when I need to understand a component of SQL Server 2005. --Matt Milner Instructor Pluralsight An excellent book for those of us who need to get up to speed on what's new in SQL Server 2005. The authors made sure this book includes the final information for the release version of the product. Most other books out now are based on beta versions. It covers key areas from XML and SQLCLR to Notification Services. Although the wide variety of information is great, my favorite part was the advice given on when to use what, and how performance is affected. --Laura Blood Senior Software Developer Blue Note Computing, Inc. SQL Server 2005 is a massive release with a large number of new features. Many of these features were designed to make SQL Server a great application development platform. This book provides comprehensive information about the SQL Server features of most interest to applicationdevelopers.
