Compaq ProLiant 1000 Configuration and Tuning of Sybase System 11 for NetWare - Page 5

Configuration and Tuning of Sybase System 11 for NetWare on Compaq Servers Introduction The purpose of this document is to share the knowledge acquired by Compaq Systems Engineers in the area of configuration and performance tuning of Sybase SQL Server 11 for Novell NetWare on the Compaq ProLiant family of servers. It is our desire to deliver the best technical information possible on a specific topic in a timely manner and in a highly useable format. Any comments, suggestions and feedback are always appreciated. The information presented in this document is based on Sybase SQL Server 11.0.1 for NetWare 4.10 and is a result of numerous performance tests executed within the context of an industrystandard TPC-C benchmark, internal benchmarking for hardware development and optimization, and analyzing customer-reported expectations, performance trends, and solutions. Sybase and Compaq do not recommend or support the running of Sybase SQL Server 11.0.1 for NetWare on NetWare 3.11/3.12, 4.0x and SMP based servers. Compaq is an active member of the Transaction Processing Performance Council, and publishes a number of benchmarks every year proving the superior performance and price-performance ratios of Compaq servers. The results of these benchmarks can be obtained directly from Compaq Computer Corporation or from the Transaction Processing Performance Council. The contact information is listed below.
