Question

CF8 - WinServer2003 - IIS

I about 5 dozen CF applications, and growing, on a single server that is accessed by about 400 local users. There are times when the response is very slow and today was one of those days that required 3 reboots of the server; the IIS was functioning but CF was under the crunch. I have been arguing with our IT support group for a cluster web server with a load balancer but my requests are falling on deaf ears.

The servers are HP pizza boxes with dual G NIC ports, 3G RAM, dual Xenon's. Does anyone have experience with Win Server 2003, IIS and CF7 or CF8?

We still use MS Access.

    Upsizing an Access database to SQL is relatively painless. You can probably get by with the free Express edition, too.

    The difference will be night and day.

    most likely it is your ms access db that is at fault here...
    even with 5 simultaneous users it will be slow, never mind 400...

    you can use SeeFusion or FusionReactor to monitor your server's activity
    and pinpoint the bottleneck. you can use built-in cf monitor if you are
    on Enterprise, too.

    Thanks. I have been resisting MS SQL but maybe I have to bite the bullet.
