Trying to determine how upgrades will affect performance

I'm very unfamiliar with tech talk, so if someone can please help me out and do their best to explain this in lay terms that would be awesome.
I am currently on the A0 cloud service instance and would like to know whether moving to the A1 cloud service instance would improve the speed performance of our web portal? I assume it would, but are there any metrics to quantify this? i.e. how much faster
will the system be?
Will any other aspects of the website's performance be improved, and if so, what?
I'm trying to determine whether the upgrade would be worth the added subscription costs (price will go from $20 to $120 per month).
Thanks!

Hi,
Moving from A0 VM size instance to A1 VM size will surely improve the speed performance.
But the overall performance depends on many factors like network, website traffic , disk performance.
Along with increasing the size, buying more bandwidth could be a good move as well.

Nice to see 13" retina but it has only Intel HD Graphics 4000 and does not have NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory card. How it will affect the speed, performance and other things compared to 15" retina where NVIDIA GeForce card is available.

The 15" Retina's will have better performance than any 13" Retina. Not only do the 15" machines have dedicated GPU's, but they also have quad-core processors, whereas the 13" Retina's only have dual-core processors.

I am trying to determine how I can take an email without an attachment and save it to a folder. I am not able to paste the message anywhere. I can copy but to no avail. I want to set up folders in email to move and save emails. How can this be done?

I am trying to determine how I can save emails into folders in my email account. No ability to create a folder to move an email over into. How can I do this?

If you are using iPad Mail app, in the left hand column tap the arrow in the top left corner until you return to where your main email address appears. This is the main account screen.
Then tap the email address/account once.
In the left column in the upper right, tap the Edit button.
At the bottom of the left column/panel there is a New Mailbox button.
Tap the button. At the top of the left column, a keyboard entry field appears.
Thiis is where you tap and enter the name of your new Mailbox folder.
Once done naming, click the done button at the top right of the left column and you are done.
This is how you add additonal mailbox folders to your email account.
Once the mailbox folders you need are created, you can return to any email entry, Tap the Edit button in the upper right of the left column, again. A button appears next to all the emails in the left column.
Tap the buttons for the ones you wish to move to a particular mailbox folder, at the bottom of the left column, choose the Move button, then pick the mailbox folder to move the emails to and they will automatically move to that mailbox folder.

Duplication of movieclip will affect performance?

hi
i have doubt on duplicating movieclip.
i have a movieclip, it has a huge codes inside in it. when i duplicate this movieclip into 5 means, all the duplicated movieclip will work based on its repective code inside. this will affect the performance or not.
any suggestion pls.

In terms of filesize it should not affect performance. In terms of processing, anytime you increase the amount of simultaneous processing that is occuring you can affect performance. It probably wouldn't matter too much if you had your code once in the main timeline for all five or each has its own set of code. If the amount of processing is the same, the performance should be the same. You should try it with different numbers of them and see if performance is grossly affected.

I want to store my music files on a NAS (which has an iTunes server built in), but I'm not sure how this will affect my iPhone sync. Will I need a local copy of my music on a computer in order to continue to sync?

Hi,
I have an iPhone and I sync playlists to it from iTunes. (I have far in excess of 16GB of music/podcasts.)
What I want to do is permanently share my music library with all devices in the house, so I'm planning on buying a NAS server that has a built-in iTunes server. (I don't want to just use my computer to share and leave it on 24/7 because that is a phenominal waste of power.) That way all networked computers can just load the library under the 'SHARED' option in the left pane. However, this had me wondering about how I will continue to sync my music to my iPhone? I wondered if I will need to maintain a duplicate of the library on one of my computers, and then have my iPhone sync with that. Otherwise I'm not sure how it'll work.
Any help/comments/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Tom.

Incidentally, my first thought was to map a network share from the NAS to my computer, so that my music files appear on the Z: drive, say on my computer. I could then set up iTunes to store music etc in that folder, and to copy all new items to that folder. However, if I do that, all that'll happen is that on my NAS, the library file will become out of date as I add music to the collection but not to the index.

Your phone from UK has to be SIM unlocked for you to use with other networks. Updating firmware does not harm the phone always. New firmware fixes bugs of the earlier version and hence an improvement in performance.

How will affect if I erase completely my ssd for Mavericks?

Hello everyone.
I have, I suppose, a simple question.
I want to make a clean update on my mac installing maverick, I don't want to update from what I have.
So in order to do this, I will format my ssd (which I have added to my macbook pro recently, it is a samsung pro 840 256gb). The thing is, will be affected my ssd performance if I erase it completely using a MORE SECURED OPTION of erase from the disk utility? which obviously last longer.
Thanks!

Maybe I wasn't clear enough with my answer.
I could achieve to install mavericks without installing mountain lion. I restarted my MacBook, then cmd+r, erase disk and then installed the OS which was downloaded.
But my question was about the ssd, how will affect its performance to be formatted with all that stuff about 1 and 0 and cycle counts.
As I've explained in the first paragraph, you can tell that I have already formatted the ssd.
After installing mavericks I installed chameleon for trim (which is less invasive and restricted than enabler) and the I ran a test with black disk, which came up with the same results I had before.
But my question remains.
How format affects ssd performance and how to avoid affecting performance?
Thanks!

Trying to determine costs per concurrent user

I have tried to investigate the services and theirs costs as well as I can and tried to get help. However I have very little experience with hosting and databases so after all this research I'm left with a bunch of questions.
Forgive me if this is too many for this kind of forum, if so, could you please refer me to where I can learn more?
We're developing a multiplayer browser game in Unity3D. The game will communicate with a SQL database. I'm trying to determine how much it will cost me per Monthly Active User (MAU) and per Concurrent User (CCU). To do so I need some things clarified. In order
to determine which feature will be the most limiting and therefore define which performance level I need.
They will on average communicate with the database app. two times a minute (defined as two queries per minute). Does this mean that I need a transaction rate of at least two per CCU?
How fast can you open and close a session? I'm trying to figure out whether I need to have one session open constantly per user connected to the game. If so, I suppose max sessions would be equal to CCU?
If I need more CCU than one database of a given performance level supports can I then just subscribe for more databases which will then automatically become copies of one another and you will divide users between the databases automatically?
As I understand your description of your database services through Basic, Standard and Premium, the database will be able to work independently of additional webhosting. However then I do not understand why there is no info in regards to bandwith limitations.
Do I need your webhosting services along with subscribing for the database? Then I suppose the bandwith limitations of the webhosting applies for the database as well?
In regards to the webhosting, besides for maybe handling the database, the website's by far most demanding service will be to allow users to download a game of max 30 MB. How can I estimate how many users will be able to download simoultaneously from a given
VM instance, e.g. basic 1?
If the database depends on this website for communication to the game, how can I then estimate how demanding that will be to the power of a given VM instance?
I realise that some of these questions may be difficult to give precise answers to but any help with getting closer to an answer is highly appreciated.

This is by no means accurate and complete, but will give you an idea about how to go about doing estimates:
First you need to know what database tier you need: basic, standard or premium.
The tier you need depends on the processing power you need, and directly relates to the number of concurrent users you have at any given time and the processing requirement of the database.
You can determine this only after you do some benchmarking of your app.
Supposed you have 100 users and you need basic tier S0, then cost per user will be (cost for S0)/100.
Then you need cost for your web service/site.
Again you need to know how powerful it needs to be.
You can determine this only after you do some benchmarking of your app.
Again supposed you need a A3 then cost per user will be (cost of A3)/100.
Then you need cost for data transfer from your web service to your user.
Supposed every data transfer is 10K, then you have 20K/min.
Supposed a user stays in your game for an hour, then you have 1.2M/user/session.
Supposed the user plays 10 times/month, then you have 12M/user per month. Then you can calculate the cost per user.
I suppose you can safely assume that bandwidth is not a limitation in Azure for your app for the moment.

How do I determine how much space is left in different content areas?

I don't know if anyone can help, but I am trying to determine
how much space has been used up in various content areas of our
Intranet.
The first content area has been limited to 700 Mb. The used
space is showing as -28.152 MB (-4%).
The second content area has been limited to 225 Mb. The used
space is showing up as 27.844 MB (12.4%).
Please could you explain the difference between numbers with a
minus sign in front of them, and those that have no minus sign.
I am confused as to whether we are over the quota of documents
added to either of the areas, although we have had no reports of
users not being able to load documents.
Thanks very much
Kate

Hi Jerry
Thanks for getting back to me.
The database we are on is 8.1.6.3 and we are running Portal
version 3.0.8.9.8.
All of the documents that are loaded on to our Intranet have
been loaded via the standard content management tools which are
part of portal.
Is there anything we can do to rectify this problem?
Thanks very much
Kate

I have Logic on my iMac and want to install it on my new mac book but my mac book doesn't have a dvd drive. I tried to download the upgrade but it looks for an older version. How do I get Logic on the Mac book ?

I would like to install logic on my new mac book but there is no dvd drive. I tried to downlaod the upgrade but that didn't work. How do I download it for the first time?
Thanks!

You can only use the App Store version to reinstall on your new Mac if you bought Logic via the App Store in the first place.... and then it will appear under the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store App so long as you are signed in using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Logic via the App store in the first place.
If you bought the DVD edition of Logic Studio then you must initially install using those original DVDs to begin with and then update to the latest version of your version of Logic via software updates.
No DVD drive? Buy an external one.. Amazon do a very cheap basic one that works well..
or...
Use Remote Disk if you still have your older Mac which has a built in DVD drive...

I have Win XP on a Dell 9100. I had FF 3.6.10 & tried many times to upgrade to 3.6.11 --- all unsuccessful. The next day, I saw 3.6.12 downloading. I seem to now have 3.6.12 . I don't know about 3.6.11 . How can I check on this?

I have had Mozilla Firefox for years. My computer is a Dell 9100 , and I use Windows XP. I have upgraded to each version of Firefox that was offered to me. Each upgrade was quick and easily done--up to, and including, Firefox 3.6.10 . I tried many times to upgrade to Firefox 3.6.11 , each time with no success. I have something like 21 copies of the downloaded Firefox 3.6.11 package. The next day, I resumed by quest to download & install 3.6.11 and saw, on my monitor, the 3.6.12 version of Firefox downloading. I don't recall how this happened. I know that I was only trying to download and install version 3.6.11 . Now, I seem to have, by looking at "About Mozilla Firefox" under "Help", Firefox 3.6.12 .
Q1. Is there a way I can check to see whether I have a valid download of 3.6.11 and/or 3.6.12 in my Firefox setup?
Q2. How can I know that all is OK, Firefox-wise? The answer to this question probably can help me a lot, in the future.
Q3. Can I delete all, or perhaps all but one, of those 3.6.11 downloads?
Q4. Any idea on why my difficulties occurred?
Q5. How might I avoid these difficulties in the future?
Thank you for your help.

Firefox 3.6.12 is the current version and it was released only a few days after the release of Firefox 3.6.11 to fix a critical security issue that was discovered. The security fix was prepared and released within 48 hours after discovery.
I do not know what caused your problems in trying to upgrade to Firefox 3.6.11, but the point is moot now. Should you have future problems upgrading, please post back here and someone will assist you.
You can keep one copy of version 3.6.11 if you wish; I usually keep 2 prior versions plus the current version.
You can download the full version(s), not just the small update, from: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/

If an internal ID is changed for the Work Repository how does it affect objects that are already in it? Will they continue to run or do you need to cycle the ODI agent?

I was having trouble migrating the Master and Work repositories from my QA to my Prod environment. I was getting an error message that the internal id's were alike so I changed the internal id in my Prod Master repository. Then I tried to migrate the Work repository and was getting a similar error. I did a search on the internet for the error message and it recommended that I renumber the Work repository so I did. My concern now is how these changes affect the objects that are already in the repositories? Will those objects continue to run? Also do these changes take affect immediately or do you need to cycle the ODI agent?

Well I cannot completely assure you but so far I have not faced any issues after a renumber. It will affect the exist object only when you have imported the object in synonym_update mode. I believe you have the daily backup of your production repository.

I have an old mini running os x 10.4 . im about to upgrade to 10.6 (the highest this dinosaur will upgrade to) but i have a ton of music recording software installed and need to know if it will affect it . please help ? any of it

i have an old mini running os x 10.4 . i'm about to upgrade to 10.6 but have a ton of music and recording software installed and need to know if it will affect any thing i have installed . does newer garageband work with older gband files ?please help ??

Sorry about that, yes, 10.5 and 10.6 on Intel can run Firefox 4.
Here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
You could install Firefox 3.6 over Firefox 4 (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

Upgrading Mac Pro - How Difficult will it be?

I am thinking about purchasing a Mac Pro with one 2.8GHz quad-core "Nehalem" processor and one 1TB hard drive. I like the idea of upgrading the system myself.
How difficult will it be to install a RAID card later? Any suggestions that I should keep in mind when I am planning to make this upgrade? Lessons learned? Any specific type/brand I should be looking to purchase?
Thank you!

how hard is it to upgrade the processor(s)?
I would liken upgrading processors to changing the water pump in a car. There is substantial dis-assembly and re-assembly, and care must be used to avoid collateral damage. There may be need for some improvisation. The process is straightforward. "It's not difficult, just complicated."
One of the first to attempt it, the principal of the tech site Anandtech, trashed one of the sockets on his processor board in the process and was forced to buy a new processor board to complete his project and illustrated review. The complete gory details are on his site.
In my opinion, most users are far better off trading in their older Mac for a faster one, when that is what is needed. Conserve your time and anergy for what you are best at -- which for most people is not likely to be computer surgery.
If you are anxious about performance, by far the best performer for less than the cost of TWO Mac Pros is the 3.33 GHz 6-processor (available as a build-to-order off the Quad Processor selection), It is "only" 1+1/2 times the cost of base model

How much jvm affects space & performance of DB????

Hi ,
as i know , there are some objects created in system tablespace or something else in the DB after installing jvm.
My question is how much space those object occupted and how those changes affect on the original DB ????
Thanks
Stephen

If you measure the performance as the time required to allocate the initial 600 GB data file plus the time to do the load and compare that to allocating a small file and doing the load, letting the data file autoextend, it's unlikely that you'll see a noticable difference. You'll get far more variation just in moving 600 GB around than you'll lose waiting on the data file to extend. If there is a difference, allocating the entire file up front will be slightly more efficient.
More likely, however, is that you wouldn't count the time required to allocate the initial 600 GB data file since that is something that can be done far in advance. If you don't count that time, then allocating the entire file up front will be much more efficient.
If you may need less than 600 GB, on the other hand, allocating the entire file at once may waste some space. If that is a concern, it may make sense to compromise and allocate a 500 GB file initially (assuming that is a reasonable lower bound on the size you'll actually need) and let the file extend in 1 GB chunks. That won't be the most efficient approach and you may waste up to a GB of space but that may be a reasonable compromise.
