# Tune the underlying datastores

AM is not file-descriptor intensive, but you may need to tune each DS instance in your environment to handle multiple client connections.

Learn more about tuning DS in the [DS performance tuning](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingds/8/maintenance-guide/tuning.html) documentation.
