With Promax PX, what is the potential impact on performance if running in a VM System environment?

6 Sep 10

As with any computer network, extensive research needs to be done to assess the appropriate sizing of hardware to deliver satisfactory performance taking into account the various software packages utilised within that organisation. Whilst we at Promax have an extensive working knowledge of the environment in which the Promax software operates including Windows operating systems, SQL Servers, VM, Terminal services and Citrix, we do not profess to be experts in operating system optimization.

Our experienced technical and consultant team provide guidelines on hardware configurations that are dedicated to Promax and as a result provide excellent performance. The sharing of these hardware resources however will obviously deteriorate the performance of all software on the system as like any computer processor, it will have a finite capacity. There is a whole area of expertise in tuning servers and with an increasing adoption of VM and Citrix this is becoming very specialised. Our recommendation is to obtain expertise from the parties that will or have supplied the VM software or an appropriate expert consultant in this field.
