Performance
Many factors affect the performance of the server and clients, including operating
systems, system hardware, network configurations, storage device types, and client file sizes and
numbers. Interactions among these factors can make performance optimization complex.
What's new in this release
This release of IBM Spectrum® Protect introduces new features and updates.
Where to start
This information helps you to optimize the performance of IBM Spectrum Protect servers and clients, and identify and solve performance problems.
Configuration best practices
Typically, hardware configuration and selection have the most significant effect on the performance of an IBM Spectrum Protect solution. Other factors that affect performance are the operating system selection and configuration, and the configuration of IBM Spectrum Protect .
Solving performance problems
When you notice degradation in performance of an IBM Spectrum Protect solution, start by verifying that conditions outside of the server and client are not the cause. Learn about problem symptoms and causes, and how to use tools to identify them.
Tuning the components
After you verify that you are following the guidelines for optimal configuration, learn about options and parameters that can help you to tune performance.
