Hello all,
Oh the dreaded performance issues!
Okay we currently have a virtual server hosted with a different company - it has two VPU's and 8GB RAM. The contract is about to expire so we're switching to a Microsoft Azure VM. This server is running Windows Server 2008 R2 - main purpose is to host QuickBooks Enterprise v15 - with 10 users connecting via RemoteApp and/or RD.
So for the new Azure server we selected the A3 (4 cores/7GB RAM) option - running Windows Server 2008 R2 - I know old O/S - but still need for now. We also attached a new 250GB disk for additional storage of data/programs. The test users noticed performance issues right away so we temporarily upgraded it to the A4 option (8 cores/14GB RAM) and although it is better there are still performance issues. For example to run a statement report in QuickBooks - viewing both connections side-by-side - it is 2x faster on the current "live" server we have hosted with the current hosting provider. On the Azure VM we also tested installing QuickBooks on the C:\ drive and then on the attached 250GB disk - the F:\ drive - same performance results on both.
This is a new VM...fresh install....just so strange why it would be slower than the 8GB server.
Does anyone have any ideas on where we can start to troubleshoot this?
Thanks so much!
