About the Book

Written by the IBM insiders that create IBM's leading-edge Netfinity server product line, this book offers start-to-finish coverage of optimizing Windows 2000 Server and Windows NT 4.0 Server on Netfinity servers. The authors introduce the technologies built into each major Netfinity subsystem, identifying key configuration settings and rules of thumb for enhancing performance. They review both the Windows 2000 performance console and Netfinity Capacity Manager, offering detailed instructions, comparisons, and insight into when to use each tool. Next, they present in-depth coverage of analyzing Netfinity Server systems to identify performance bottlenecks, detailed recommendations for eliminating, anticipating, and avoiding them. Finally, they offer in-depth insight for optimizing the performance of leading server applications, including Lotus Notes, Microsoft SQL Server, Exchange, Oracle Server, SAP R/3, and Windows Terminal Services.
