Configuration to Be Consolidated by Resource Management
In this example, five applications are being consolidated onto a single
system. The target applications have resource requirements that vary, different
user populations, and different architectures. Currently, each application
exists on a dedicated server that is designed to meet the requirements of the
application. The applications and their characteristics are identified in the
following table.
|
|
|
Application server
|
Exhibits negative scalability beyond 2 CPUs
|
|
Database instance for application server
|
Heavy transaction processing
|
|
Application server in test and development environment
|
GUI-based, with untested code execution
|
|
Transaction processing server
|
Primary concern is response time
|
|
Standalone database instance
|
Processes a large number of transactions and serves multiple time
zones
