Moving OLAP process

[wbbusby]

I currently have three servers in my Project Server 2003 environment. An
application server, a database server and an analysis server. We've been
considering moving to a two server configuration with an application server
and a database/analysis server. My db/analysis server is a beefy dual 2.8
processor HP blade server with 2 GB RAM and 148 GB of DASD (67 GB free). I
have 516 projects and support approx 380 PWA users. Is there any reason I
shouldn't be able to run my analysis server off this database server? Has
anyone ever moved the analysis manager portion and got any advice on
proceeding?

Hello,

There is no technical reason for why you couldn't move this over, but
considering the number of projects you have, I would recommend you stick
with the three-server environment. If you wish to move to a two server
environment, you will need to consider the number of times/frequency of
which people will access the analysis services.

Sorry this may not be too helpful, but I would think you really do not want
to move to a two-server environment for performance reasons.
