My company is looking to upgrade its Oracle server, on which I am the DBA. Two options that are being looked at are an RS/6000 G30 or a DEC Alpha system (I'm not sure of the model number) running VMS. Both are SMP systems. They're about the same price, but of course the Alpha system destroys the IBM in performance.
We're currently on an RS/6000, which is part of the reason we'd like to stay. However, it's hard to argue with the Alpha's performance.
Any comments from sites running a G30 (or similar) or Alpha/VMS combinations would be greatly appreciated.
