Sample Questions
Q1) Discuss what you might want to consider when setting hardware requirements for the CPU of servers for a network and provide an example.
Answer: When you develop the specifications for the server hardware you are planning to use,it is better to overestimate than to underestimate.In nearly all cases,this means purchasing much more computer than specified in the minimum requirements.In terms of speed,plan to pay particular attention to the speed of the CPU and the amount of RAM.For example,a small business using one server with Standard Edition should consider purchasing a 2 GHz or faster x64 processor.The cost of an x64 processor is not much more than that of an x86 processor.An x64 processor gives the small business room to grow in the future.
A corporation or university that has large databases might consider running the Datacenter Edition on an SMP x64 computer with fast processors.The number of processors depends on the size of the databases and the frequency of performing large queries and reports.The corporation or university might start with two processors,but with the option built into the computer to easily add more in the future.
