Evaluation and Analysis of Hardware Sizing for a Mission Critical Enterprise Application
Hardware sizing has come to play an important role when designing and implementing business critical applications because it is crucial that the existing or defined business and application requirements are interpreted into an appropriate hardware configuration. If it is not done correctly, it may d...
