What to expect from SQL server?
We have a SQL server that I want to know what to expect in terms of the performance.
The applications being served are running very well written/indexed ERP system(s) - each having a thousands of customers across the globe.
There are two key apps and both are being served by this SQL server.
They are both running a high volume of SQL transactions and we see around 400 batch requests per second.
Usually, the Network I/O is where there is maximum wait.
Is 400 batch requests per second an acceptable number for this type of server?
The queries being run are usually returning small number of records - approx less than 25 rows and approx 50 or less number of columns.
The dataset being returns is either short strings (80 characters) or numeric values.
This server has following configuration:
