General considerations
The current chapter contains the results of InfoPrint Manager performance testing. The tests meant to determine how the system reacts in terms of responsiveness and stability under a particular workload.
You must consider the requirements for an InfoPrint Manager system as a total entity. Remember that the product is dependent on the hardware configuration to process the workload accordingly.
Consider these areas:
-
Processor capacity
-
Application requirements
-
Anticipated growth requirements
-
I/O slot requirements (HDD, network, bus, etc.)
-
System memory
The application related factors that affect performance are:
- Number of jobs
- Average job size
- Number of pdservers
- Number of queues
- Number of actual destinations that are printing jobs at any given moment
- Actual destinations types (PSF, AIX, CUPS)
