Hi,

In the Windows Server 2003 you can have compressed catalogue. Can we use a compressed catalouge for WF databases? If yes, is there any performance loss.

That very much depends on the system.

The only real answer is a physical test on YOUR system.

Compression always has an overhead. How much ?. Test it.

If you really need to compress disks on a server then you
really do need to talk with the support people because as
has been stated in a very recent post it's so cheap to add
capacity.

Thank's for that answer.

With the current crisis I understand that companies will be trimming not only the fat but also the meat, just hope they don't cut down to tne bone.

Because of the outsourcing agreement here between HP and our customer, we have just been imformed how much disk space cost and boy it's not cheap. They pay per month more then what a 1TB mobile disk cost at the local PC shop.
