Navision 3.60 Running on a SAN/NAS Architecture

We're using Navision 3.6
(Native but planning to upgrade to SQL in 2 years) and
we're wondering if there is anyone out here running Navision Native on
SAN or NAS who could share their experiences and give us some
details about their installation (database size, number of concurrent users ...)

We are running on a SAN, but I'm not sure if you mean the same thing.
If we are talking the same, then the Navision server here is connected to a super fast Hitachi SAN. The server itself is a Quad-Pentium box running 2.4 GHz I think. 4GB of memory.
We have a 100GB native database serving 88 sessions. Most days we peak at about 75 concurrent users.Kristopher Webb

You have a native Navision database server running on a 4 processor machine? Are all processors utilized? I always thought that the Navision database server only uses one processor.0

You are correct. Only one processor is used by Navision. However, the last Navision Solution Centre was less than informative on that particular aspect *death rays coming from eyes*.Kristopher Webb

I would move to SQL to utilize all the 4 CPU's0

I agree with Rashed, if you are experiencing performance issues. You have this super machine sitting there with 4 CPUs and 4 GB of RAM, only actually using 1 CPU and 800MB of the RAM.
Going to SQL will probably slow things down at first, but you will have tons of options to increase performance.0 -
We actually just upgraded to the SAN we are on last weekend, and we've noticed some really good performance enhancements since then. We already have a high-performance SQL server, so that isn't a huge concern at the moment.
Thanks for the tips, however! We're considering all options for speed enhancements.Kristopher Webb
