Leveraging WMI Scripting $91.95 Leveraging WMI Scripting is the second in a series of two books dedicated to WMI. Understanding WMI Scripting (ISBN 1-55558-266-4), Lissoir’s first book, explained to Windows Administrators the various WMI scripting techniques and manageability capabilities of this new Windows Server 2003 platform. Illustrated with hundreds of scripts and detailed tables, the book explained the underlying technology and how WMI can be put to work. Lissoir focused not only on WMI programming aspects for developers but on how administrators can use what is available in Windows for their admin work. If you’ve had significant WMI experience, or have read Lissoir’s first book, you are ready to apply your WMI knowledge to any technology that interfaces with WMI. Leveraging WMI Scripting continues the presentation of WMI begun in Understanding WMI Scripting. In this new volume, we dive deeper into WMI to understand the manageable entities of the Windows world. Lissoir offers a structured description of the most important WMI providers available from Windows NT 4.0 to Windows Server 2003 (including Windows 2000 and Windows XP). This covers the WMI management of the Windows Registry, Active Directory, SNMP, the Resultant Set Of Policies (RSOP), and the Volume Shadow Service to name a few. This discussion leverages the information on building real-world scripted management solutions presented in Lissoir’s first book. Like the first volume, Leveraging WMI Scripting is based on an important concept: “learning by practice.” Leveraging WMI Scripting addresses the most advanced topics so that you can exploit the features of various WMI interfaces to manage the components in a real-world environment. WMI is a critical topic under Windows Server 2003, so this book provides real added value to every Windows administrator. Shows you how to extract data from applications, understand what’s really happening on your servers, and get real work done Provides hundreds of usable scripts to use in everyday solutions for network performance and security Offers practical and straightforward advice that any enterprise Windows administrator can learn from |

How Optimizing SQL Servers Can Reduce The Need For Scaling
There comes a time in every database production environment when you must decide whether or not to scale hardware systems. Many factors, including budgets and timeframes, make the decision even harder. It is not easy for DBAs to choose whether they would like 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. High levels of system resource use may require you to scale up your production environment to ensure optimum end user experiences.
Get additional SQL Server Optimization information.
Scaling out involves using federated servers where data can be partitioned or replicated across them. For example, CRM or ERP functionalities could be partitioned on different servers and horizontal data could be partitioned across several databases.
Determine What Is Necessary
Before scaling up or out, you must be sure that it is required. Sufficient SQL server performance tuning could be a great help when making that decision. Many performance and scalability problems can be solved by optimizing the SQL server. Scaling up or out should not be done until applications and SQL Server databases have been optimized using historical trend and wait-time performance data.
SQL Server optimization can resolve performance bottlenecks like inefficient locking, unprepared SQL statements, poor indexes that lead to increased CPU loads, and memory or disk I/O utilization that are often incorrectly mitigated by scaling up on hardware.
The Question: To Scale Up or Out
Once you’ve optimized applications and databases and are still seeing performance issues, you must decide whether you need to scale up or scale out. Scaling up usually comes first. Even though scaling up may require significant expenditures, it is easier and more efficient than scaling out. Scaling up is essentially upgrading slower hardware with new, fast equipment and/or adding additional hardware components to the current configuration.
After scaling up and buying new hardware, you are still having performance issues, you will then need to look into scaling out with a federated server environment. Decreasing the workload on the individual servers will likely cure any performance issues that may remain.
Scaling out is also an option when budget constraints prohibit hardware scaling. If you already have sufficient server capacity, your expenditures will be decreased dramatically. 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.
Start By Optimizing, Follow up by Scaling
It bears repeating that the most and least expensive performance enhancing optimization occurs at the application and database levels. 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.
