How do you know when its time to go from a dedicated server to having a dedicated server and a dedicated db server?
I am noticing that on one of my dedicated servers (specs below) for a few vb sites, I have plenty of server load available, plenty of memory (only 28% and swap is very low 0.02%), but loading some longer threads of my vb site take longer than I would like. Am I a good candidate for a dedicated db server?
1 x Dell \ 1066/1333FSB Dual Xeon \ PowerEdge 1950/2950
2 x Intel \ 2.0 GHz 1333FSB - Clovertown \ Xeon 5335 (Quad Core)
2 x Maxtor \ 146GB:SAS:10K RPM \ Atlas 10K - SAS
4 x Generic \ 2048 MB \ DDR2 667 FB DIMM
1 x Dell \ 9G Drive Controller - SAS/SATA RAID \ PERC 5/i
