Striking a Balance Between Security and Performance

As physics teaches us, for each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. And this is the balance between performance and security. Many factors can impact your server’s performance. Probably the biggest resource to help your server perform is how random access memory (RAM) usage is monitored. With 64-bit operating systems being able to handle many gigabytes (GB) of RAM, you would think that keeping track of available RAM would be a thing of the past. However, it is not that simple.

One of the main features of IIS 7.0 is the ability to load just the modules you need to support a particular application. This can help keep the core server footprint to a minimum.
