  performance
• Internet Information Server performance tuning

3
IIS Design Considerations

• PDC or BDC and IIS Server
• IIS with its own Domain (PDC) for security
• IIS Server outside the organizational Domain.
• Database, SMTP, NNTP, Index, FTP Servers
• Hardware requirements
• Network Connections - NIC and line speed
• Using SSL

4
Monitoring the Services

• Performance Monitor Counters (383 390S)
• Event Viewer logs and Internet Information Server
  logs
• Site Server - Content Analyzer Report Writer
• Other tools
• Netstat - Snapshot (314MS)
• Network Monitor (captures frames information)

5
Factors Affecting Internet Information Server

• Bandwidth
• Internet connection type
• Network connection capacity
• Hardware
• CPU bottlenecks
• RAM bottlenecks
• Network adapter card bottlenecks
• Hard disk bottlenecks

6
Factors Affecting Internet Information Server

• Network Application Speeds
• ISAPI, CGI, and ASP
• ODBC logging
• Security features - SSL

7
Internet Information Server Performance Tuning

• Restricting bandwidth (Override computer)
• Balancing memory against response speed
• Limiting connections and setting timeout values
• Internet Information Server cache
• Maximizing processor share
• Increasing CPU Speed
