Performance and capacity planning best practices white paper

The purpose of this guide is to extend the Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 Performance Testing Lab white paper by providing best practices and recommendations.

This paper examines a wide array of system objects, including:

  • Platform-related objects — including the farm, shared service providers, application pools, web applications, databases, disks, network, memory, CPU, logs, and performance counters

  • Data-related objects — including projects, tasks, assignments, resources, custom fields, and security

  • User-related objects — including localization, workloads, queue job processor threads, and interface feeds

For each system object, the following information is provided:

  • Definition — The definition of the object

  • Guidelines for acceptable performance — The best practices and supporting statements

  • Calculation factors — The performance and scalability calculations to support the best practices

  • Scope of impact — A list of objects affected in the system when best practices are not implemented
