We have reason to believe that KNEC used some of the best developers available, but just couldn&#39;t allocate the funds for the server - you know how it gets when the guy at the head of IT is the Finance Director:-)<br>If they found those to be expensive too, then I am not sure what to say. Unfortunately, all we have at our disposal is imaginations. When you get an overloaded SQL server, the problem can be both ways - poor design, insufficient hardware resources. Let&#39;s give them the benefit of doubt - that at least the developers thought/projected the amount of queries per second they&#39;d be handling during the peak performance.<br>

Everyone here is assuming the problem is the hardware.<div><br></div><div>How sure are we the application was well designed to be robust and scalable? The solution to performance is not always bigger/faster/more hardware!</div>
