We use SQL 2008 Standard on a dedicated sserver. This server is running with 15K SAS 6Gbps Hard Drive, 48GB RAM and 24 cores. Only Solarwinds Named Instances will ever be on this SQL Server.
I do not think we are going to run into issues here. We may start to see issues on what is actually moniter, but hey this is why we have Solarwinds NTA. To figure out which devices need to be upgraded so our backbone and edge better handle traffic better or assign the right QoS policies throughout the network if needed.
