Design System Architecture

The choices that you make when designing the architecture of your MicroStrategy system have a significant impact on system performance and capacity.

Choices that you must make when designing your system architecture include:

• How the data warehouse is configured (see How the Data Warehouse can Affect Performance)
• The physical location of machines relative to each other and the amount of bandwidth between them (see How the Network can Affect Performance)
• Whether you cluster several Intelligence Servers together and what benefits you can get from clustering (see How Clustering can Affect Performance)
