Having this single location where all IIS and website configurations are stored can result in performance bottlenecks. As the number of hosted applications on a single Windows server increases, the suboptimal performance becomes more obvious. Not only that, but as the number of unique website and IIS configurations increases, the physical memory required to store those configurations also increases.
The configuration optimization actions taken in IIS 8.0 fall into the following two categories:
- IIS and website configuration memory utilization
- Performance of change provisioning
Because there is a lot of server consolidation happening in the IT industry, the number of cohosted websites will likely increase. As websites migrate to these single instances of Windows Server, administrators and companies expect the same performance and administration requirements as if they were hosted on a single server. This means that there should be no change of behavior of the website simply because it is cohosted with another website.
