About this title

From the Publisher

A tutorial/reference for both novice and experienced system administrators alike, this volume explains how to configure software and hardware resources to obtain optimal performance on an SCO system. Using technical descriptions, examples, case studies, and quick reference tools, it explains exactly what affects the performance of a computer system; how hardware and software resources are used in the completion of specific common operations (applications); how successful tuning involves balancing between contrasting needs; what must be balanced in order to achieve optimal performance in a given situation; how the balance point is achieved; and how the inevitable trade-offs are made. KEY TOPICS: Outlines a step-by-step method for collecting data about a system and its resources; explains some of the technical background behind the method; and describes the resources used by the common operations for each of the SCO platforms (SCO UNIX, SCO MPX, Open Desktop, Simple Networking, and Client/Server). Uses diagrams, tables, and charts to amplify text descriptions.
