Summary

Although most organizations pay little attention to performance tuning and optimization, performing basic steps to monitor a server and to track performance statistics helps organizations better understand the operation of their systems. By setting realistic business operation policies along with monitoring system performance, when a problem arises, the administrators of the organization have a better idea what the normal operation of the system is, and can statistically analyze information to isolate problems more easily.

Additionally, performance optimization helps an organization minimize bottlenecks or inefficiencies that can lead to reliability problems and possibly system failure. Performance management helps an organization improve operational effectiveness, and creates a network that can run more efficiently .
