Re: Oracle and Intel/Solaris

300 Users on a PC? Relaible?

Solaris is a great OS for running Oracle. However, a PC is still a PC. Solaris x86 is a great development platform and runs < 50 users well. However, running that many concurrent users, you would be better off investing in some SPARC hardware that is scalable.
