SQL Server Performance Forum – Threads Archive

Any folks here in North Texas?

I frequently use this forum but rarely post… but every once in a while I like to offer my toybox for anyone here who might be looking for new hardware / disks that want to test in an environment outside of your own… I work with the Unisys / Microsoft partnership here in Dallas and we have available: 32-bit system - (32) Processor Xeon 3.0 4mb cache (32) Gb RAM (16) Emulex LP9002 2Gbit (<img src=’/community/emoticons/emotion-11.gif’ alt=’8)’ /> Intel Pro1000 64-bit system – (16) Itanium 1.5 6mb cache (64) Gb RAM (16) Emulex 9802 2Gb (<img src=’/community/emoticons/emotion-11.gif’ alt=’8)’ /> Intel Pro1000 SAN - 14+ Tb of EMC storage divided amongst 36gb 15k, 146gb 10k, and SATA 250gb (mostly 36s for performance.) Each of these are easily configured with Datacenter or Enterprise Edition as needed, and being at the Microsoft facility we have access to some of the best PSS/CPR folks on the SQL Server and Windows OS teams. If any of you guys are looking at larger scalable SQL configurations (8 processors and up… remember that Dell dropped out of 32-bit 8x world, and HP is about to do the same.) let me know. We can test your environment from 1 to 32 processors and use our GUI to quickly and easily change memory and processor counts between each boot. I can be contacted here on SSP or at [email protected] We have replicated this configuration in other Microsoft facilities, so let me know if you have needs outside of the DFW area. Take care guys!
