Hello,
Our company is developing an ERP applicatios on Oracle 9i.Because we don't have any experiences with Oracle (our recent applications work on HP3000 MPE/iX OS) I need some advises for HW configuration.

I would like to know which OS we should use (UNIX or NT) how many processors, RAM, disks, ...

Here are some info:
- applications are OLTP

aprox. size of DB less then 40GB (400 tables)
200 concurent users
5 x 24 availability

I also need to know if Oracle 9i Standard Edition is suitable or Enterprice Edition is necessare for our configuration (licence for SE is 3x cheaper then EE)

I know that it is hard to do a general suggestion on sizing hardware but I need a starting point for recommendations to customers.

I would greatly appreciate any recommendations on hardware and OS, or any experiences with these issues.

Thanks in advance
