Capacity planning considerations for low volume iPad Policy Management

We're looking at placing a Mac mini in the DMZ for the sole purpose of providing remote iPad (only) enrollment services and policy management/enforcement. We have a pool of about 15 iPads with more trickling in here and there - nothing dramatic...
I know this is somewhat of a subjective call but how much horsepower would you recommend between the apparent $560.00 to $2k+ price range for Mac Mini's. We don't expect a lot of churn in the enforcement/policy management realm once the devices are enrolled. Yes, I am aware that Mac Mini's aren't necessary intended for use outside of the home (in corporate environments) but my guess is that a Mac Pro is overkill for the intended purpose...
Any all opinions, considerations welcome and thanks...

We need to do a capacity planning/sizing for DB

Can you please provide any template/suggestion for DB capacity planning

Dear dba,
Database capacity planning will be based on the volume of the data that you wanted to load to the database.
For instance you are planning to trace the performance on the fixed line circuits. Take some sample performance files from the vendors and see the files' sizes. According to those file sizes estimate the average load and see the SLA for the period that the files will be stored on the database.
I have never heard of any template or a suggestion methodology for database capacity planning rather than simple calculations like sum, multiply etc.
Can you please elaborate more and we may have some additional information on your concerns.
Regards.

Capacity Planning Guide for OAS 9i

Hi all,
I really want to know about is :
"How much server/cpu/memory do I need to support n
number of users?"
So I can decide specification of server that I needed.
I've read technical white paper about 'Oracle
Developer Server 6.0 - A Capacity Planning Guide'
March 1999 and,
'Scalable Web Deployment with Oracle Developer Server
- A Benchmark Comparison of Client/Server and Web
Deployment by Retek Information Systems' November 1998
Is there other twp like that for OAS 9i ?
Regards
Yohanes

The document does not really give figures but more, the way you should plan to estimate your capacity - as such, the document is relevant for 10g as well as 6i

FIX for low volume, sort of....

I finally broke down and called tech support last night about the low volume issues I was having. The music and videos are all loud enough and when using the headset and/or headphones but calls, speakerphone and voice mail are all very low even when turned all the way up. To listen to the VMails I had to hold the bottom of the phone near my ear.
When on the phone he told me to hold down the top button and the home key which I had done before but I always stopped when the slide to turn off appeared. He said to hold both down until the "apple logo" appeared. I did this twice.
I did this and my volume increased by about 10-15% for the calls, speaker phone and VMail increased about 25% same for the music and videos. I can now hear the Vmails comfortably holding the iPhone about 2' in front of me no more holding it to my ear. The music and videos are now so loud that I dont have to turn it up past about half way.
The volume for calls could still be a little louder as I still have it maxed out but that to is much better than before.
He also asked if I used a case and I said yes but it didnt block the speaker. He asked me to remove the case as the entire bottom piece of the iPhone is thinner and a different material and allows sound through "in a way". I thought he was crazy but I removed my case and viola another nice volume increase for the VM, speakerphone, music and videos.

Thanks, pool_shark and Tidbits. I guess I'll have to wait for the 4.03 update. I keep my volume at maximum. I had a Plantronics bluetooth when I got the phone, have since purchased a Jawbone, a newer Plantronics, and a Blue Ant. Have returned the first two and will return the Blue Ant if I don't get the update before the return period is over. This is really frustrating, but at least it's good to know Google is working on a fix.

Capacity planning question for 11g DB server

We are building a new 2-node RAC cluster for our new application; what is the general rule of thumb for number of CPUs, memory?
env: 2-node RAC, RH5, 11gR2

If this is a packaged application, the application vendor should be able to help you with this sort of sizing since they know what factors are going to be most important to resource utilization.
If this is a custom application, you'd need to talk to the development and architecture teams that built the application. Without any idea what the application is doing, we don't even know what metrics to ask about in order to guess at the requirements. For some systems, it will be the number of users. For other systems, it will be the types of users or the modules that are configured. Some systems will scale based on the amount of data, others will be independent of data volume but will depend on the number of middle tier servers. And it will always depend heavily on how efficient the code is-- a system that is built to take advantage of Oracle and to maximize efficiency, for example, will require much less hardware to do the same amount of work than a system that is built to be database agnostic that hasn't been optimized for efficiency.

Best DVD-burning method for low-volume output

I have used iMovie to create a numer of projects that vary in length from 30 minutes to one hour 40 minutes.
I would like to keep them as iMovie files on an external hard drive, then use the simplest method to burn them to a DVD when a customer orders one.
* Number of orders is too low to use a servive that replicates/duplicates.
* My needs are very basic. Don't require a fancy DVD with menus, etc.
* Would prefer using an external burner to minimize wear on internal one.
Question: Is there a way to save an iMovie project to a certain file format on an external hard drive, then just drag it to a blank DVD and hit "burn"--and be certain that the result will play in a DVD player?
Thanks.

I agree with Matthew's suggestion to use a DVD disc image. This is the file that gets burned to DVD, nice and compressed to fit the disc. Once you create it, you can use Disk Utility (or Toast, if you have it) to burn it anytime you like, and the burn just takes a few minutes.
iMovie cannot create this disc image for you. The good news is that iDVD can create it. You need to create a new project in iDVD, import your iMovie project into it, and use File > Save As Disc Image.
You do not have to have the theme and menus in your iDVD project, if they really bother you. F Shippey has made a nice tutorial explaining how to create an autoplay DVD with a simple "replay disc" page for the viewer. Read this thread and follow F Shippey's link for instructions: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4387688
Another good thing about disc images is that if you are sure you won't want to edit the movie in any way in the future, you can keep that small (4.7GB or less) disc image and delete the huge iMovie project. The iDVD is project reference-based, so if you delete the iMovie project you may as well delete the iDVD project as well. Disc images are a space-efficient way to store your old movies. You can always burn another copy. (Just be really sure you won't want to do any further editing. The DVD is so highly compressed that to open it back for editing takes extra software and results in a visible loss of resolution.)

How to go about capacity planning for storage ?

Hi Experts,
How to go about Capacity Planning? For instance if clients wants to upgrade to new server and new storage and asks us how much additional storage do you need for next 5 years, how can calculate the amount of storage.
I don't have any baseline info about the server of past years. Where can I start and any scripts you guys use for doing capacity planning?
Appreciate your help.
Thank you.

Capacity planning for inspection

Hi,
I would like to plan for capacity required to complete inspection lots at our labs. This should include inspection types for 01, 03, 04 and 08. Is there a way I can do this in SAP ? I am planning to use an enhancement and create a planned order for every inspection lot (1:1 relation). But I don't know how that will work. Does anyone have any ideas ?
Thanks

Hi GS,
I think that's a good question, might not have been explored much.
I think, you can try to utilize the potential of "Quality Work Center" attached to inspection operations, and activate Machine and Labor as capacity categories, use relevant formulas and try the standard Capacity planning process for PP.
For more details, please go through the links -

3. Capacity Planning (PP-CRP) - SAP Library

Please do further search on this subject and work with PP consultant to use this functionality. Finally share your results once you are done

Skills/Knowledge needed for low latency/high throughput development

I have a meeting/technical interview next week for a department at work (foreign exchange). It is going to be a technical interview. I know from the team that they use java heavily, using jvm optimisation, modifications to garbage collection, and have servers placed as close to the exchanges as possible to minimise latency. They said they need to work in "micro seconds" opposed to milliseconds and this means being as efficient as possible.
I love java development, but am relatively inexperienced but i really want this job. What would you suggest needs to be researched for a role like this in order to stand the best chance of getting it. I dont think knowing about inheritance, auto boxing/unboxing is going to help much in this?
I am thinking potentially looking at new releases to the java platform such as closures to demonstrate i am keeping up to date with current trends but as for the rest of it i am not really sure.
I would really appreciate some pointers around considerations for low latency / high volume / highly concurrent development in java if possible.
Just for a little more detail, the backend uses KDB database with a java fx front end
Thanks

How is any of what you just said relevant? I was 'so blunt' because you seem to be setting yourself (and your potential new teammates) up for failure. Based on what you posted you are nowhere near qualified for the task you described.
Further there is absolutely NOTHING in what you posted that talks about any skills that you DO have. You didn't mention A SINGLE THING about your skillset or how you might add value to that team or project.
Your educational experience should provide some guidelines for how you advance your skills in ANY subject. Each college course has prerequisites and for good reason. Taking a course when you don't have the proper foundation and background is the surest way to fail. Colleges don't let you do it. You have likely been in classes where some of your classmates were clearly in over their head. For those people that course will be nothing but headache and heartache and their chances of success are minimal.
It is the same with most endeavors including the one you mention in your thread. Naturally you want to challenge yourself when you join a new project or team but you have to be able to hold your own and contribute. Taking on a task or project when you don't have the necessary experience will not only subject you to unnecessary problems but you can easily have a large negative impact on the entire team and project.
I suggest you try to find a different project where whatever (still unknown to us) skills you have can be used to contribute to the team effort. No one expects new team members to know everything or as much as more experienced developers but they also don't want an 'anchor' that is going to drag them down.

Need Help - BPEL sizing & capacity planning

Greetings,
We are considering moving our EDI processing to Oracle Integration with BPEL. I have searched high and low for sizing and capacity planning guidelines for BPEL (and B2B) but have not been successful.
Could one of you help me out with this - point me to links, send me actual documents etc. My contact information is included below.
Thanks very much in advance.

What is the expected / estimated load of message that BPEL PM will process? What type of adapters is used? etc...

Capacity sizing document for Forms on iAS(Oracle Application Server)

Hi,
I need to know from where I can get Capacity planning document for Forms on Oracle Application Server for Intel/Solaris/Aix arch.Please Advise.
Regards,
Noman

Hi,
we have several developers working with developer suite 10g. Our OAS runs on Linux as yours. All our developers work locally using windows-pc's. We have a samba share we use to move the developed sources to the linux box. On the linux box with have some scirpts to compile the sources and move them to the runtime-directory.
The final integration test in then done using the installed application on the oas.
This works without having any problems for more two years now.
btw: Be aware of the problems you will run into when moving an application from windows to linux:
-> All filename ar Case-sensitive
-> the writing of module-names in OPEN_FORM, NEW_FORM, CALL_FORM must match exactly the filename (in other words: call_form, open_form and new_form is also case-sensitive
-> Attached librarys are also case-sensitive, even if there are shown in uppercase in the module-navigator.
hope this helps.

Hi,
What should be the Heap size cannot be determined by the RAM size 32GB or 64GB. It depends on the Application...Application Functionality, How many Long living objects it creates , how many JNI calls it makes, How many Jars/Classes it loads, How many users requests your application at peak load, what kind of Caching you are using...etc
Above things are the points which can be used to determine the required Heap Size and the JVM tunning options.
There is no standard calculation or Formula available...The only option to determined the required Tunning parameters and JVM settings is...Load Testing and Performance Testing.
Thanks

SOA - EAM capacity planning

I have been handed an assignment to prepare "capacity planning documentation" for what is termed "Enterprise Application Messaging"(EAM). I am looking at the documentation for Oracle Fusion Middleware and in particular Oracle® Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server 12c Release 1 (12.1.1) which has some basic installation prerequisites. This is a good start but I know that there is more to capacity planning in the context of this EAM notion like for instance a database to persist messages etc and then there are the "speeds and feeds" to consider.
My question is: Are there any white papers, best practices or Open World presentations that are more current than the 10g documentation and presentations I have found on searching that would cast the Oracle Fusion middleware more in a "generic EAM context" than this 12 C product installation documentation I am looking at?

Thank you for the quick reply and the great links you gave, I am reviewing them before proceeding.
I agree, the EAM is a mysterious acronym...I'm not sure who dreamed it up, but to me, it means SOA and OSB and that is what we will be building in a new datacenter. I believe it may be a "home grown" acronym to try to keep from becoming too vendor oriented with our high level documentation...we have a bunch of Microsoft afecianados here who would like to place something like "Biztalk" into the mix, so maybe they got the powers to be to invent a more generic acronym.
Yes, I have also found that I need to look at the 11g not 12C docs due to certification issues, hopefully resolved in a couple of weeks I'm told.
There are some great diagrams you pointed me to and I sincerely appreciate your quick reply...thanks a million!
