Maximizing Data Throughput

This topic is part of Tuning Microsoft Windows for Enhanced Siebel Server Performance.

For a server computer on which you install Siebel CRM software, changing the data throughput setting from Maximize data throughput for file sharing (default) to Maximize data throughput for network applications can result in the following benefits:

• Better symmetrical multi-processing (SMP) scalability

• Improved networking performance

• Allocation of more physical memory for your Siebel applications

Note: Where the Siebel database is on a server computer running Microsoft SQL Server, the setting Maximize data throughput for network applications is set by default, and is also generally recommended for optimal performance. Whether to keep or change this default depends on how you are using the server computer.

For more information about these settings, see Microsoft's documentation.
