Asked by setec
How can I determine how many knowledgebases (and krowledegebase sources) can be stored on a database server of a given size?
Obviously if the disk space runs out the server needs to be upgraded, however support has suggested that intermittent problems with knowledge bases are caused by a lack of memory but I’m not seeing >80% memory usage when these problems occur.
Adding new database servers for every knowledgebase gets expensive but it isn’t clear how many knowledgebases (and of what size) and single server can handle.
