You can optimize performance in the following ways:
Optimize virtual memory: Through the use of paging files, Windows
allocates space on your hard drive for use as if it were actually memory. This
space is known as virtual memory. This topic describes how to optimize the
virtual memory on the Historian archiver computer.
Note: If the paging file is
set to grow dynamically, your system may experience severe performance
problems during runtime. To ensure optimal performance, the Initial Size and
Maximum Size values for the paging file must be the same so that the paging
file does not grow dynamically. For more information on creation and sizing
of Windows paging files, refer to Microsoft Windows Help.
Optimize the server performance: If the file sharing and printer sharing
options on the computer on which you want to install Historian is set to
maximize data throughput, it can lead to excessive paging when dealing with
large files, which can interfere with applications like Historian. You can
change these settings to optimize the performance.
Procedure
To optimize virtual memory:
Access Control Panel, and then select System > Advanced system settings > Advanced.
Under Performance, select Settings > Advanced.
Under Virtual Memory, select
Change.
In the Initial size and Maximum
size fields, enter a value equal to three times your
physical memory.
Select Set, and then select
OK.
To optimize server performance:
Access Control Panel.
Select Network and Sharing Center.
Select the network that you use.
The <network name> Status window
appears.
Select File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft
Networks, and select
Properties.
Select Properties.
Ensure that the Maximize Data Throughput for Network
Applications option is selected.
