While every enterprise environment is unique, there are certain fundamental practices that can be followed to ensure overall server availability and performance. An enterprise typically consists of a variety of servers and operating systems, each hosting a different business-critical application or service. Each application or service performs differently depending on a variety of factors. These factors create unique challenges for the system administrator attempting to optimize these servers and the operations team attempting to monitor the environment. This white paper focuses on the basic components to manage in a typical server environment specific to the Windows, UNIX, and Linux operating systems.
