SQL Server Memory, CPU, Threads, … Resources Admin Workload Backup Admin Tasks OLTP Workload OLTP Activity Report Workload Ad-hoc Reports Executive Reports A workload can have an importance label Low Medium High Gives resource allocation preference to workloads based on importance High Database Engine

Resource pool: A virtual subset of physical database engine resources Provides controls to specify Min Memory % Max Memory % Min CPU % Max CPU % Max DOP Resource monitoring Up to 20 resource pools SQL Server Min Memory 10% Max Memory 20% Max CPU 20% Min Memory 10% Max Memory 20% Max CPU 20% Admin Workload Backup Admin Tasks OLTP Workload OLTP Activity Report Workload Ad-hoc Reports Executive Reports High Max CPU 90% Application Pool Admin Pool Database Engine
