Manage System Resources

If you had unlimited money, you could create a system that would impose few limits on system capacity. While system resources is not the place to save money when building a business intelligence system, you may not have the resources that you want you could have.

You must make certain choices about how to maximize the use of your system's resources. Because Intelligence Server is the main component of the MicroStrategy system, it is important that the machines running it have sufficient resources for your needs. These resources include:

• The processors (Processor Type, Speed, and Number of Processors)
• Physical disk characteristics (Physical Disk)
• The amount of memory (Memory)

The Installation and Configuration Help contains detailed information about small, medium, and large configurations.
