I would like to consider shifting this to unix, using the DEC platforms.
I understand unix has a flat loading curve as the number of users
increases, but this isn't my situation. What I need is the lower part
of this load curve to match or exceed the performance the NLM would have
provided on the selected platform.
Without starting wars over whose system is better, I would like to know
what you have found out, in terms of benchmarks or use, about which
Ultrix box will give me equivalent performance in my situation.
Also, how close to the top of the list is Ultrix in terms of when new
releases of Oracle are ported to different platforms?
Your choice to post or email me. TIA
