Chapter 4. Planning for performance

To deliver good performance, a Content Manager system requires sufficient

system resources to run the necessary workload. One of the most important

tasks from the first day is to plan for performance. To determine how much

system resources will be required, we need to estimate the workload the

business application is likely to create, then translate that to workload for the

Content Manager server (or servers). When we have an estimate of the load, we

can compare it to the measured workloads tested on particular hardware

configurations.

In this chapter we run through the principles of sizing a system and look at the

tools and techniques available to estimate the workload generated by a Content

Management solution.
