Configuration to Be Consolidated
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 Description |
Characteristics |
|---|
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 |
