Appsense Memory Optimization Real World Savings

I created a full report for my employer but heres some basic figures on the amount of memory savings per instance of the common applications in our environment. These figures were using the Appsense v7 Performance Manager Memory optimization.

The figures were obtained by testing on servers with upto 38 live users across 3 days, and comparing memory use on a server with the memory optimization on against an identical server with the option off.

Memory Saved

Lotus Notes : 2MB
Internet Explorer : 9MB
Adobe Reader : 31MB
Excel : 31MB
Word : 12MB
Explorer : 10MB
FinePrint : 5.6MB
PComm : 6MB
Citrix ICA Client : 5MB

NTTaskLdr.exe : 842KB
wfcrun32.exe : 5MB
Wfshell.exe : 5MB
Winlogon.exe : 2MB

Overall the savings were very impressive , and led us to increase the user loading on a 32 Bit server from 50 to 70 users.
