Hello
I have a SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1. The Server needs about 26GB of memory. This whole memory is only actively used for about 60 minutes a day. The rest of the day the server idles. As it is a SQL Server it allocates all of the momory upfront.
The applications team told me, that they need this amount of memory to do their work. My virtulization heart says that this is momory wasting. Most of the time the momory could be used more efficent by other VMs.
Are there any recommendatin to deal with that circumstance?
Thanks for your feedback.
Best Regards
Dennis
