Hardware

Hi guys,

i have installed TFS 2010 in a 2 server setup with an App Tier server and a SQL Server and am not 100% happy with the performance.

Both are running in VM's on SAN disks and have been given the following virtual hardware each:

Windows 2008 R2
1 CPU @ 2.8Ghz
2gb RAM

what should i lift - neither machine is hammered but both do go up to 80% when people are doing things on them - should i add another CPU to each - usually this is now required in a VMWARE setup but i don't know if TFS 2010 takes advantage of an extra core???

thank you in advance :-)

Overwriting TFS Web Services

In this blog I will share a technique I used to intercept TFS Web Services calls. This technique is a very invasive one and requires you to overwrite default TFS Web Services behavior. I only recommend taking such an approach when other means of TFS extensibility fail to provide the same functionality… >>> More
