We currently run out DB on a server configured as follows:
WIN 2003 enterprise 32gig mem
SQL 2005 enterprise
dual quad core
"C" raid 0 OS/SQL
"D" raid 0 DBtemp
"E" raid 0 DBLog
"F" raid 10 7 drives primary FG
"G" raid 10 7 drives FG 1 to 4
We run the entire suite of NPM product, 6 pollers, about 6-8 K nodes on each average 4 object per node, IPSLA and NTA for about 3500 routers. IPAM fro 5 class "B"
The performance fro NTA is not great and we ca onl keep 60 days or it really gets slow. I know more spindles will greatly improve DB performance but our Storage team does not want any more DAS and I am being pushed to use NAS or SAN. Anyone out ther doen this? Advice? how is performance
