Configuration, Hardware, and Environment Factors
The following factors can also impact the application performance:
- Hardware architecture and operating system
- Amount of memory and Swap/Virtual Memory configurations
- Anti-virus software
- Amount of I/O being performed by other applications running on the servers
- Network Interfaces (number of NICs, speed and duplex settings)
- Network throughput (for example, the time it takes to download a 5 K file between application server and browser)
- Network hops, latency between browser and application server
- Network Bandwidth consumed by other applications
- Amount of memory available on client for browser
