Measuring the speed of NEOSYS on the server

In NEOSYS maintenance mode press F5:

FILESPEED

Measures the speed at to create and delete a file with 1000x1Kb records - lower time is better

Example speed is 1 second on a high quality notebook 7200rpm Hitachi deskstar Speeds less than 8 seconds are acceptable for small installations Speeds less than 4 seconds are acceptable for larger installations Antivirus usually needs to be configured to exclude OV or OV? files. See section Configuring Antivirus for NEOSYS

PROCSPEED

Measures the processor speed – higher speed is better

Example speed is 540K tests per second on an Intel Core Duo 1.8Ghz

MEMSPEED

Measures the memory speed – higher speed is better

Example speed is 27K tests per second on an Intel Core Duo 1.8Ghz with 667MHz DDR 2 SDRAM

Benchmarking the speed of NEOSYS over the network

1. From Support > System Test – Test the Web server loopback with the option 100 from the Number of Times to repeat. This checks the connection to IIS - this has to be done from the server and also the user computer
2. From Support > System Test – Test the NEOSYS application loopback with the option 100 from the Number of Times to repeat. This checks the connection to the NEOSYS database - this has to be done from the server and also the user computer
