Hyper-V memory and performance

[billreilly]

I have a new Hyper-V VPS and have a few performance questions:

Windows Server 2008 obviously handles memory differently than 2003, but I see that my Hyper-V VPS (with 1gb of RAM) appears to have much less memory available to my applications than my old VPS (with only 512mb of RAM)... My applications appear to run much slower on the Hyper-V than they do on my older VPS, especially writing to disk... Why is that?

With my main application running, Windows Task Manager shows:

Physical Memory (MB)
Total 1022
Cached 559
Free 0

I'm also using Server Monitor to monitor this server, and when I have my apps running, sometimes the Load gets up to 60 or 70, maxing out around 88 or so... What does this number mean?... are these numbers unreasonably high?

Thanks... Bill

Hello Wiliiam ,

We have monitored your Hyper-V server for some time and we found that the memory usages are stable when your main third party application is not running on the server. The memory usage when the application is not running is around 600 MB to 650 MB. However, as you have mentioned that the memory is completely used when your main application run on the server, we need to run and check your application on the server to get why and how the memory usages are increased so that we can escalate this issue and hence I would request you to please place a ticket to us or contact us via live chat so that we can check and fix your issue
