Hi,
my customer asked me about what the best upgrade he could make
in his XL Server 590 (PC795): add memory, upgrade CPU, add disks?
The hardware configuration is: 64MB of memory (4x 16MB), and 2GB of
disk. The customer's Server is running SCO UNIX Enterprise, and a XBased
atabase with 40 terminals.
The customer told me it is very slow. May this environment be supported
by XL Server 590?
Would you please give a suggestion about it?
Thanks in advance,
Marcia

Suggest you first check why the performance it slow. Could be CPU, I/O
to disk, memory, LAN.
Use sar to check CPU use and memory use, a LAN analyser like IRIS to
check load on Ethernet.
This type of data should tell you the way to go.
Cheers,

I agree with a good system analysis.
If they need more power, there is an upgrade path to bring the system
all the way up to a 200Mhz DP Prioris XL.
