Windows Server
2008 includes the Windows System Resource Manager (WSRM), which had its start in
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise and Datacenter editions. This tool can be used to tune
your server??™s performance by allowing you to specify exactly where CPU and memory
resources are allocated. To monitor system performance, Windows Server 2008 includes
a Reliability and Performance Monitor, which is an enhanced version of the Performance
Monitor available in previous Windows versions.
DATA IS GOOD!
If you work with any reliability and performance metrics-gathering tools, you will find
that it is far too easy to gather what seems to be too much data. Sometimes the data you
gather may not be what you want. For example, if you work in an environment that has
experienced immense and sudden growth, you may find that you no longer have time
to follow your own best practices, so that over time and when you finally collect performance
metrics, you might determine that your servers are just as overworked as you are.
Many small to mid-sized organizations (and, unfortunately, even some large ones) use
metrics gathering as an afterthought, and these tools are brought out only when an administrator
is reacting to a serious issue??”such as when an application server performs
at an unacceptable level.
For the most part, if you gather and trend your data proactively, you can find possible
trouble spots well before they become issues or outages.
