Hi
I am currently working on a project to consolidate databases for two different application into two clusters.
Now to save more money, the company would like to consolidate both applications onto one SQL cluster with two instances running.
I am trying to work out CPU requirements and was wondering how best to go about this?
We have historical data about CPU usage per server but I am not very knowledgeable on how you would convert this.
If each server currently has different clock speed, amount of cores and threads, how do you calculate it to get a certain metric to compare against the new server?
Even if you have this metric, would it be inaccurate because other processes use CPU on each server?
Thank you
Sam
