Increasing Capacity
Published : September 27, 2005
You can also improve performance by increasing the capacity of the DPM server through hardware upgrades.
Adding disks to the storage pool and reallocating the replicas across the storage pool can help reduce disk queue length.
Adding memory is a relatively inexpensive upgrade that can result in a noticeable improvement in performance if the server frequently experiences low available memory.
Adding more processors or upgrading to faster processors can reduce CPU issues.
Also, consider your data protection requirements: you may need additional DPM servers to balance the workload.
For recommendations for optimizing DPM server performance, see the “Planning a Deployment” chapter (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=46355) in the DPM 2006 Planning and Deployment Guide.
