Due to different environment configurations, the Secure Copy jobs may show different performances during executing file migrations. This is an environmental specific challenge and depending on the goal and scope of the project, this may need to be escalated with the Professional Services (PSO) which can be discussed with Quest Account Manager/Sales/Pre-Sales
Some of the factors that have an impact on the copying job:
- CPU
- Memory
- Disk IOPS
- Firewalls, either physical or software (part of Antivirus or Windows Defender)
- Types of network cables
- Network cards
- Any network routers and switches between the source and the destination endpoints
- SAN/NAS and their performance
- MPLS
- WAN
- LAN
- VPN and Proxies
- Outdated firmware or software of all the devices
- OS configuration and so on
A thumb of rule is that the slowest node would be the best achievable performance in your environment.
Target - Create 4 copy jobs and run them simultaneously. During their run check the following elements via the Resource Monitor:
- CPU
- Memory
- Disk IOPS
- Network
Prepare the testing environment:
- On the source location, create 4 folders with roughly 2Gb of data - You can name them i.e. Test 1, Test 2, Test 3, and Test 4
- Create a mapping between the source and the destination location
- Open 4 times the Resource Monitor and for each one select the respective tab (CPU, Memory, Disk, and Network)
You can position them next to each other
- Start copying all folders. For each job you can expend the More details option to see the speed of processing that single thread
You may see something like this
Note: Please follow this KB document for Performance tuning => Secure Copy 7 Performance Tuning (120580)
You can open multiple Resource Monitor windows from the Task Manager, as shown on the screenshot
