Hello
We are looking at migrating to new hardware for our Oracle Financials
database. Existing hardware is
4500 with 3 CPU's and a T3 with 9 x 73 gig array (plus another small
array for the OS).
This gives us pretty good performance.... (We are changing hardware due
to lease expiring)
Reviewing what is available to purchase new, there are two real choices
that stick out when looking at what you get per dollar:
V1280 with 8 CPU and 16 gig ram = $100K
SunFire 4900 with 4 CPU and 16 gig ram = $190K (this is cheaper than a
4800!)
Has anyone gone through the comparison of these two models? What do you
get for the extra 90K? Will the V1280 cope as a database and web server?
Or is it a better option to go for something smaller, and put in a bunch
of blade's to offload some of the processing? What are some other
options that are used out there?
Cheers
Paul
