Currently we have the following configuration.
E450
3 - 250 MHz processor
1 Gb Memory
3 - 9Gb & 2 -18Gb disks
We are running Solaris 8 and Oracle 8.1.7.2.
We currently have 3 databases.
One is a catch all of smaller apps. Its current size is 2.5 Gb and will grow
slowly at maybe a half a Gig a year.
It has 25 users connected at one time. Low Transactions.
The second database is about 5.5G and will grow about 2 Gb a year.
It has about 40 users connected at one time. Medium Transactions
The last database is currently 6 Gb and will grow to 19Gb in one year. This
growth will continue. We will determine how many years to keep on line by disk
space.
It will be connecting through an Application Server and using OCM. At the App
server it will be common to have 350 users and could peak at 900.
Medium to Heavy transactions.
We also have a database that is the same as above except that it is for
Decision Support and Data Analysis. It will start at 6Gb and will grow to 19Gb
in a year. I am not sure on the number of users. Low to No transactions.
One of the configurations we are considering for a new platform is the
following:
SunFire V880
2 - 900 MHz processors
4Gb Memory
12 -73Gb disks ( This is two internal backplanes with 6 disks on each)
Does this configuration look like a suitable replacement for the above needs?
The goals of the above change are to keep Oracle Licensing costs under
control. So that is why we are trying to get everything on one machine with
the fewest processors needed.
Any alternate suggestions are welcome.
Thanks
