Compaq's Alpha and Tru64 platform has been turning in some impressive Oracle benchmarks, they're definitely worth a look.

All,

For a position that would (possibly) like me to set up an Oracle infrastructure from scratch, on Unix. Given the opportunity to choose from any system, what hardware would you pick?

>From the small bit of information I've been able to glean,
it'll be fairly large, and need failover.

I obviosuly can't guess the size of the system, but one part of the question is vendor. I'm familiar with Solaris, but HP seems to be platform of choice these days. And each vendor has their own storage methodologies, and their own HA clustering mechanisms. And there's always OPS.

Any opinions, pointers, caveats? (Is this a broad enough question? :-)

Yosi
