The slowest link in your network, which causes work to get jammed up The first step in improving network performance is identifying the bottlenecks
(Ticaret) A resource that constrains the flow of production, inventory movement or data in a system. In a free-flowing system, the first place to restrict throughput when demand is raised
The load point at which an application shows degradation in performance attributable to a specific cause (database, network, router, etc ), whether known or unknown
A stage in a process which limits performance Note: Generally this is interpreted as a facility, function, department etc that impedes performance, for example a warehouse or distribution centre where goods arrive at a faster rate than they can be transported or stored, thus causing stock-piling at improper moments or in unwanted areas
The machine group in a factory that has the highest loading for a given product mix Some authors define bottleneck as having a loading of 100% However, in common use, bottleneck usually refers to the most highly loaded machine group
A bottleneck is a place where a road becomes narrow or where it meets another road so that the traffic slows down or stops, often causing traffic jams
Something that prevents SQL Server or a SQL Server application from running optimally Generally, this is a hardware limitation, such as a lack of RAM, not enough network bandwidth, or slow I/O If a bottleneck exists in a server, it can prevent the other components of the server from running at their full capacity As a DBA, one of your goals is to identify and remove as many server bottlenecks as you can in order to boost performance
