Re: VLDB nearing 85% space utilization on underlying drives.

I disagree with you; I have seen Microsoft knowledge base articles that
claim that you should NEVER go under 15% for both performance and
longevity reasons

We are a one terabyte DW which uses BO to retrieve the data for customer
queries. The use of BO tool is imposed by the customer. We are currently at
83% disk utilization with about 50 gigs left before we cross 85% utilization.
So far we have not seen any performance degradation. We are monitoring
currently and will do a baseline test for about 3 days next week. We are
hoping this gives us a better indication of when we may be getting closer to
hitting the wall.

yeah just about 80%

how much space you got?
i think that you should stick it on IDE / SATA drives and then use SQL
Server Analysis Services to get the data out.

Anything else is cost prohibitive

I need help tracking down some information regarding SQL Server 2000. I have
a VLDB that is at approixmately 85% space utilization on all of its drives.
Is there a recommended threshold where not enough free space is available for
SQL Server to maintain it's performance levels?
