If there is one area in Ax 2009 that needs much improvement, I would say as hardware sizing guides.
In and prior to Dynamics Ax 3.0, the hardware sizing guides were simple to use. Simply put, it worked something like this -
Navision / Microsoft had partnerships with many computer hardware manufacturers.
If one wants to do hardware sizing, all one has to do is to visit the hardware sizing tool in the partners website.
Upon entering the numbers and pressing submit, presto - you will have the hardware recommendations.
In Ax 4.0, it changed altogether. There were some explicit hardware recommendations (publicly available) white papers like the one here which gave a very good idea of requirements.
But when in comes to Ax 2009, there weren't any hardware sizing guides made available till date. Considering the server landscape that is required for any typical implementations, I find this strange. The only hardware related information for Ax 2009 that I came across till date is the benchmark stuudy titled 'Microsoft Dynamics Ax 2009 Day in the Life Benchmark'. Please click here for more info.
