There has been quite a bit of talk recently about a performance issue I see on Windows Server 2008 - the use of the default Power Plan setting of Balanced.
Recently at SQLBits York I demonstrated the new SQL Sentry Plan Explorer (formerly known as the "Plan Viewer") and officially announced its upcoming release.
SQL Sentry v5.5 Release Candidate 2 was just published to the website. Although it's a dot release, don't be fooled, v5.5 stands to be a watershed release for us in more ways than one.
SentryOne founder, Greg Gonzalez, covers a “saving grace” that prevented things from being much worse when SSAS memory limits were inadvertently set to KB instead of bytes.
One of the least understood areas of Analysis Services performance seems to be that of memory limits – how they work, and how to configure them effectively.
