Performance Boost

This feature increases performance by buffering some database objects in memory. Normally when an object such as a table is read from or written to, it is done directly from/to the Server or Host PC's hard-drive. By holding the table in a memory buffer this can significantly improve performance. By default, any changes to the table in memory will be written to the hard-drive on these events:

•Every couple of minutes

•When the memory buffer is full

•When a database backup is about to be performed.

•When the PhonePad Server is shut down.

Enabling Performance Boost can improve performance significantly.

Performance Boost

Buffer settings may be changed over time via system updates to get the best performance for your system.

Do not change any of the Performance Boost settings unless advised to by a Cybercom Support technician. Incorrect settings could result in adverse system performance and even data loss.

Although a very low possibility, there is a potential for data loss when Performance Boost is enabled. This can happen if the Server or Host PC crashes, is suddenly powered down, or loses power. In those events the PhonePad Server will most likely not have had time to write any changes to disk.
