Running apps in separate memory spaces

[Danny]

I have an application that has data entry and reporting
partitions. Currently they run on separate, low-powered
servers. I want to combine them onto a high-powered 4
processor server but I am concerned that the reporting
processes will consume all of the server's resources. Can
I setup the server to restrict the data entry and
reporting processes to run in their own memory space? Is
there another scenario that would prevent the reporting
processes from using all of the server resources, thus
preventing data entry?

All process in the NT-based operating systems run in separate memory spaces
at all times.

What "resources" are you concerned about? Memory? Each app is allowed to
allocate up to 2GB user mode virtual memory (in most cases). The memory
manager handles paging to disk when necessary.

Without knowing more about your situation, it's hard to comment further than
that. It's *extremely* doubtful that these two apps would render a 4 proc
server with reasonable amounts of RAM unusable.
