TriTech utilizes a formula for estimating disk space <br />for new systems — however, the most effective method for analyzing future hard disk <br />needs is periodic analysis of the size of your system's database and its growth over <br />time. <br />TriTech suggests that system administrators ensure drive redundancy utilizing RAID <br />or other technologies as appropriate to their site. Some system features can <br />significantly impact disk space growth. <br />• The "Attachments" functionality allows for adding documents as attachments to <br />reports. Extensive use of this feature can consume disk space quickly and <br />should carefully be monitored. <br />Note: Insufficient disk space is still one of the most common causes of system down <br />events. <br />2.1.2 Database Reindexing <br />Inform RIMS supports offline and online re -indexing. Online re -indexing is of particular <br />importance to some customers. Database growth and the data archiving process <br />combine to cause indexes to be progressively less effective. This affects the speed at <br />which data is retrieved and ultimately slows down your system. TriTech recommends <br />that customers re -index their system at least once a year. <br />SOL Server Enterprise Edition introduces the ability to re -index your databases without <br />taking the system offline — however, this important feature is only available in the <br />Enterprise version. <br />Please note that even with the Enterprise Edition there are certain tables that cannot be <br />re -indexed online due to limitations of SOL Server data types. Even though re -indexing <br />online is an option with Enterprise Editions, some performance degradation may be <br />experienced and as such, even online re -indexing operations should be scheduled <br />around non -peak usage times. <br />Each customer will need to determine the relative value of this feature compared to the <br />additional cost of the enterprise version of SOL Server.
