Client Side Configuration
For an individual Metalogix Content Matrix Console instance, you can Configure Content Matrix to Run in a FIPS-Enalbled Environment.
Configuring Content Matrix to Run in a FIPS-enabled Environment
If your organization is subject to U.S. Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) and runs in a FIPS-enabled environment, you can make Content Matrix compatible with that environment by changing the value of the key FIPSEnabled in the EnvironmentSettings.xml file to True.
Changing Resource Utilization Settings
Metalogix Content Matrix can manage its performance level through the Resource Utilization Setting. This type of management is also known as throttling, and is used for any migration action that is run with Metalogix Content Matrix.
To edit Resource Utilization Settings:
From the Contrent Matrix Console ribbon, choose Settings > Edit Resource Utilization Settings.
By default, the Efficiency value is set in the center or the slide bar. This is the recommended setting for best performance and resource utilization (use of RAM, CPU, Network and SharePoint load) during a migration.
If the slide bar is further to the left, the migration will run more slowly, but will have less chances of overloading the available resources and causing potential errors. If the slide bar is further to the right, it with use more system resources, and can speed the migration up, but could cause some potential errors if the system resources cannot handle the data being migrated. There is a chance that if the speed is too high, you would actually see a slowdown in the overall migration, because the migration is trying to run actions faster than the resources properly allow.
The actual values that are provided in the slide bar are determined by the systems resources (the system that has the Metalogix Content Matrix installed on it). A system with high resources will be able to run faster migrations, even if using the default setting, because over all available resources will be higher. This also means that the Efficiency and Speed values will have a larger spread between them. A system that has low resources will run more slowly, simply because it doesn't have the resources to run at faster levels. Again, this also affects the default values for Efficiency and Speed, since these numbers will be lower, and have a smaller spread between them.
NOTE: If the Efficiency is set to its maximum (all the way to the left), the migration will run more slowly, but the "slowest" speed will be the same between systems with high and low resources. The "slowest" value between systems will always be the same, however, the *"highest" value will be different based on the systems resources.
While this value can be set through the Contrent Matrix Console, you can also set it through the back end, if the UI setting does not seem to be working for you. Please contact Quest Support for more information on this back end setting.
