Hello all,
I currently have a VM setup and I am running MSSQL on it. I have 16 virtual cores and 64GB of RAM allocated to this server, SQL Server 2017 is the only thing running on this VM.
How can I make sure that the hardware I am using is allocated for the best performance on my new DB I setup? Basically if I allocate 16 cores I want to make sure its using as much as possible and same with RAM. Is there a way to optimize my hardware through windows or a way to optimize performance using SQL Management Studio?
This is my first experience with SQL Server so forgive me ahead of time for noob like responses.
