Hello,
We have a sql server machine with many databases.
These databases are big and a few of the tables have millions of records.
We also have mirroring setup so that the data gets mirrored into another location on another sql server machine too...
Everyday thousands of records are inserted, updated, etc...
I have started seeing extreme slow performance issue on these inserts or updates, etc...
After several checks, we believe the whole sql server machine is being hammered by users heavily using databases.
The machine has the max. memory available.
Note that sometimes the sql server machine hangs too, i.e. (can not click on the enterprise manager icon to open it)...
Questions:
1-
It seems the mirroring has encryption enabled by default. If this is disabled on the mirroring server which is on another location, then could it improve the performance on the local server?
2-
What can I use to investigate the workload on the server
Thank you
