Optimization Measures to Improve IIS server performance

When we use the IIS server, we do not like to wait for its slow response. We know that there are two reasons for poor service performance of the IIS server. One is artificial, that is, the Administrator has not optimized or configured the IIS server during installation or configuration.

The other is objective. As the service type and number of visitors increase, the original hardware configuration of the server cannot meet the requirements. Therefore, the hardware configuration needs to be improved.

If the performance of the IIS server is still not significantly improved after the server is configured, you may want to improve the server configuration. However, if it is a matter of money, the bosses will not agree easily unless you persuade him by facts. You must first consider what hardware configurations to improve. The following are the related hardware that needs to be considered during IIS server optimization:

Processor: you can upgrade to a faster CPU and add another CPU. But if the price is too high, it may change the motherboard or something), the boss is hard to accept.

Hard Disk: the hard disk space is used by NT and IIS in two ways: one is to simply store data, and the other is to use as virtual memory. If you use the SCSI hard disk of Ultra2, the performance of the IIS server can be significantly improved.

Network interface card: if the server runs on the enterprise intranet, you can consider upgrading its Nic to a m Nic. This is especially effective when network bandwidth is a bottleneck.

Memory: increasing the memory may be the simplest and most effective way to upgrade the system. This is also the preferred solution for IIS server hardware upgrade. So how do I know the hardware upgrade is required? This is related to the use of performance monitor. I will describe it in other articles. Here is a brief introduction: for example, you can use the performance monitor to track the CPU usage on the server.

You can also view the number and frequency of pages that are switched from memory to hard disk. By combining the information with memory usage and other system information, you can obtain a system performance report table. If this information has consistently showed high usage, it indicates that the hardware device should be upgraded.

We will explain how to optimize the performance of the IIS server.
