The hardware you use directly influences the overall performance of the PPM server system.
PPM server and database system should be installed on the same computer or connected via a network with sufficient capacity.
If possible, select a RAID 5 or RAID 10 array-based file system for tablespace file storage.
You can further increase performance by distributing the tablespace of the PPM tablespace types (see chapter Supported database systems) to physically independent file systems.
Configure an MS SQL Server database so that transaction logs and database files are saved in physically independent file systems.
