RE: How much RAM?

2004-06-22 Thread Kathy Vance
We are running Jrun 4 in solaris 5.8. Each Jrun app
server instance uses abount 30MB-35MB without
servicing any requests.

Usually I wouild create seperate instance for each web
site if I need to do lots of updating later on. You
know clients hardly make their minds.

I wouldn't base this decision on memory usage. You should ask yourself what
benefits, if any, you'll see by running separate applications on separate
instances. For example, you might benefit by isolating stable applications
from unstable ones, or by being able to secure individual applications
better, or by being able to tune individual applications better.

Re: How much RAM?

2004-06-22 Thread Troy Simpson
All,

I am running JRun/CFMX on Sun Solaris.  I realize that load will have 
something to do with Memory usage.  As an Admin, I am trying to 
determine if I should create seperate CFMX instances for each App or 
should I actually put some thought into it. 
;-)

For some reason, I was thinking that JRun/CFMX needed 256M/512M or RAM.

When it comes to purchases, I don't hold the purse strings.  
Additionally, I am competing with others for the funds.

Thanks,
Troy

That's what I recall seeing, the last time I looked, using the Windows Task
Manager on Windows Server 2003.

  If I recall correctly, just running a JRun instance with CFMX will consume
  around 35MB without even servicing client requests. Obviously, when it
  starts doing work, it'll probably consume more memory. How much memory it
  consumes will depend on the nature of your application, and the load that
it
  has to handle. If you're using multiple instances within a single cluster,
  each instance probably won't need as much memory as a single instance
would
  if it were running the application alone.

  Storage (RAM or disk) is relatively inexpensive.
