Hi Everyone,

I currently have a client with up to 70 concurrent users running Sage 300 2020 core modules including Norming asset management and Pacific workflow on desktop version. My challenge is on speed every time they dome month end procedure, it slows down the server nearly to non operational. They have one central SQL server (Virtualised) and 6 Sage 300 application servers connecting to it with both program and shared data files residing on these servers. Workstation then connect to these 6 servers which are in different geographical areas via odbc. 

Host Server;

Processor:          Intel (R) Xeon(R) Silver 4110 CPU @2.1GHz 2.10 GHz

RAM:                  112 GB (111 GB usable)

System Type:      64-bit OS

SQL Server Specs are as follows;

Processor:          Intel (R) Xeon(R) Silver 4110 CPU @2.1GHz 2.10 GHz

RAM:                  70 GB

System Type:     64-bit OS

Sage 300 App Application Servers

Processor:          Intel (R) Xeon(R) Silver 4110 CPU E3-1225 v5 @ 3.30GHz    3.30 GHz 

RAM:                  32 GB

System Type:     64-bit OS

Every time they have this problem I check the SQL Task Manager and Memory Usage will be above 95%.

WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM ? 

If there is a best structure and hardware specifications for such a setup, please share.
