Hi
I've recieved some figures from the EMA tool (I'm using version 3) and pluged these into the sizing tool. Generally very impressed with the whole tool etc but there is one question I'd like to clarify a bit.
So on the tool, and it appear on most tabs so I'll pick the 'ExchMbxSteadyState' tab for this question, there is a figure for "Throughput rate adjustment due to message size" which is in the last table (line 101) and has a figure that has been manually adjusted down from the benchmarked ingest rate due to the higher than 'average' message size.
That's all fine and I get the reason why the figure has been adjusted - but my specific question is:
Is there a particular process that suffers due to large message sizes? eg If it's the indexing then can I offload indexing to an index server group to increase the throughput? btw - if I set indexing to 0% this fugure doesn't change. If it's SIS then wouldn't it need to know how I plan to share (in store or in group) if I plan to share at all.
Just curious as to why it can drop so dramatically ( by 2/3rds in my case) and if I can do any configuration changes to minimise the impact. Apart from double the spec of the server...... :o)
kind regards
