Hi,
I _think_ I'm posting to the appropriate place...
We're considering implementing Oracle Financials. We're a growing company with about 325 employees at present. We're moving from a Vax-based package (the Ross System) and want to be sure that we're sizing the financials server appropriately given that we are growing.
Some possible server choices are the HP K220, SGI Challenge (with either R4400's or R10000's), and the Sun UltraServer1 170e. So far, Oracle hasn't offered much help in this regard and the possibilities I've listed are the various hw vendor's suggestions. Do you have any comments as to whether one platform is significantly better than another for Oracle Financials? We have about $100K to spend on the entire server HW package- computers, disk, memory, etc..
We like SGI because we're mainly an SGI shop. We currently have no HP's and a couple of older Suns.
thanks in advance
