Suggestions? The Rule of Thumb (R.O.T.[ten]) method ...

Size it for UDB
Go to TCP.org and - find a benchmark using UDB - find the same (or very similar benchmark) using Oracle
Document the assumption of linear scalability
Use ratio of UDB benchmark to Oracle benchmark sizing, brushed against your UDB sizing, as the basis for Oracle sizing.

The correct way, of course, is to actually fire up the application under Oracle using vendor-supplied hardware and do your own benchmark of the target configuration under target load.
