SQL Server Hardware $28.12 Relational databases place heavy demands on their underlying hardware and many of these databases are mission-critical resources for multiple applications, where performance bottlenecks are immediately noticeable and often very costly to the business. Despite this, many database administrators are not very knowledgeable about server hardware. Many medium-to-large companies have completely separate departments that are responsible for hardware selection, configuration, and maintenance, and the DBA with no knowledge of hardware is often completely at their mercy.Likewise, many DBAs are also unaware of the performance implications of the various options and configurations for SQL Server, and the Operating System on which it is installed. Glenn Berry is a highly experienced Database Architect, teacher and SQL Server MVP, and his book is designed to provide the fundamental knowledge and resources you need to make intelligent choices about optimal installation and configuration of SQL Server hardware, operating system and the SQL Server RDBMS.With what you learn in this book, you’ll be able to ensure that your SQL Server instances can handle gracefully the CPU, memory and IO workload generated by your applications, and that the operating system and SQL Server itself are installed, patched, and configured for maximum performance and reliability. |

When to Scale for SQL Server Optimization
Those responsible for database production environments will eventually have to decide whether they will scale their hardware systems, or not. There are variables such as time frames and budgets that make this decision very difficult. One of the most important decisions is whether to scale up or scale out.
To scale up means moving databases and applications to bigger and better hardware with more powerful processors, greater amounts of memory, and faster 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. Examples include functional partitioning of CRM or ERP functionality on different servers and horizontal data partitioning across multiple databases.
Stop Right There: 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. Numerous scalability and performance difficulties can be relieved with the proper SQL server optimization efforts. 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.
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.
The Question: To Scale Up or 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. It can be quite expensive to scale up, but it is surely easier and more productive than scaling out. Scaling up includes replacing slow hardware components with newer, faster ones and/or adding more hardware to existing configurations.
If, once you have scaled up on hardware, your system is still experiencing performance issues, you should consider scaling out and implementing a federated server environment. The decreased load on individual servers should alleviate most remaining performance issues.
Scaling out is a great solution for those who simply don't have the budget for new hardware. If you have enough, or nearly enough, server capacity already, expenditures will be greatly reduced. 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. Concentrating server performance tuning in those areas will commonly phase out the need for scaling. Make sure that you have tried every performance optimization option before you decide that scaling is the only way to solve your performance issues.
