Hi!
I currently having my entire Bi stack (SSIS, SSRS, SSAS and DW) on one server. I´m looking into setting up a new environment and have a couple of questions.
- How big is the performance impact when processing the cubes if the SSAS cubes is hosted on a different server than the Data warehose db?
- Is it good to have a separate server for SSRS or can it be kept on the SSAS servers?
- Is it common to have the SSAS-servers divided into dedicated Query- and Processing servers? Is it a good approch or is it better to have several servers acting as both query- and processing servers.
- How can I handle deployments in a good way. Problem is that my cubes are taken several days to process when doing a complete processfull and I can´t take the production environment down for so long. I need to process the cube somewhere else and that synchronize it to the production-environment. How are you doing it?
