Definitely switching to 64 bits environmen...Matt, <br /><br />Definitely switching to 64 bits environment helped me a lot in most of my biggest domino installations. <br /><br />The issue I mentioned in my post was impacting on that domino version with Windows 2008 64 bits. That customer is working fine with windows 2003 64 bits and with about 8Tb of main domino storage, in two two-node clusters. <br /><br />I found that the primary benefits of 64 bits are in the memory management areas, and in the overall performances (mostly of router, httpd, ldap, indexer, amgr). <br /><br />In the 32 bits environments, non linear memory addressing techniques are needed for the operating systems to "see" over the 2^32 bit boundary. <br /><br />Switching to 64 bits architectures on current server hardware is definitely a needed infrastructural improvement for most enterprise software built for supporting 64 bit systems.<br /><br />My suggestion is to be careful in mixing 64 and 32 bits software in any integration, so to stay away from untested environments. Switch to 64 bits if you can migrate all your modules to 64 bits.<br /><br />Before production migration, carefully examine and test all your components, like backup agents, antivirus components, and the like.<br /><br /><br />At the moment, I did not perform testing with virtualized 64 bit domino systems nor I run 64bit-vm/64bit-host solutions in any enterprise customers.<br /><br /><br />regards,<br />marcoMarco Guardiglihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06980098282508369629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13978895.post-26947057181626786132010-12-11T18:30:49.556+01:002010-12-11T18:30:49.556+01:00Have you experienced any benefits from using 64 bi...Have you experienced any benefits from using 64 bit Domino in general? I've read the IBM information and it does not sound like there are any solid benefits. I would like to hear your opinion.Matt Bidwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07730122912204251573noreply@blogger.com
