What kinds of tools for capacity planning are included with Domino R5?
Carol Zimmet You can download Domino Server.Planner from Notes.net. This is a Notes application that we released with Domino R4.6 and enhanced for R4.61. We’re also revamping it for R4.63. It’s designed to query production environment loads against certified vendor data across a range of systems. Hardware vendors could not produce data for each load point, so we’re enhancing Server.Planner to do extrapolation between data points. This means if the published data includes 750 and 1200 user datapoints, you can also obtain a 950 user extrapolation without an additional lab run. You can read more about Server.Planner in the “Iris Today” article “Simulating your Load Environment with Domino.Server.Planner.” There is also Server.Load, which provides an easy-to-use GUI to generate a load against a Domino server. It allows you to easily monitor Notes statistics and metrics under a simulated load. Server.Load is available in the Lotus Performance Zone What kinds of benchmarking tools are you us
