LogMeIn is also Apple-friendly enough to offer a remote control application that works on iPhones and iPod touches. WebEx’s PCNow also offers iPhone control of remote Mac computers.

Watch the Physical Disk (instance)\Disk Transfers/sec counter for each physical disk and if it goes above 25 disk I/Os per second then you've got poor response time for your disk. A bottleneck from a disk can significantly impact response time for applications running on your system, so you should investigate this further by tracking Physical Disk(instance)\% Idle Time, which measures the percent time that your hard disk is idle during the measurement interval, and if you see this counter fall below 20% then you've likely got read/write requests queuing up for your disk which is unable to service these requests in a timely fashion. In this case it's time to upgrade your hardware to use faster disks or scale out your application to better handle the load."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3253618201233103541-3220413277701474687?l=fanwaken.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>GreyWorldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11781795330506280236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3253618201233103541.post-70159224179350563512009-09-08T23:25:00.000-04:002009-09-08T23:25:14.005-04:00<a href="http://www.technologyreview.com/web/19073/page1/">"In order to be smooth, which is what FastTCP does, you have to be more gentle and assess queuing delay," says </a><a href="http://www.cs.northwestern.edu/%7Eakuzma/" target="_blank">Aleksandar Kuzmanovic</a>, an associate professor in the department of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University who researches TCP.
