It seems like you ought to study the Informix literature at least. The Informix XPS server looks like a quite different animal to me than the Oracle parallell server. There sure are administrative problems that must be solved, but the design of XPS seems to make this simpler than other alternatives. As to performance one can discuss to death all kinds of server implementation issues. The XPS seems to have many advantages here. However the final answer is of course how your application reponds. For an indication you might want to look at http://www.informix.com/informix/corpinfo/ifxnews/press/1997/tpc-dhp.htm

For some more information on XPS you may start at http://www.informix.com/informix/products/techbrfs/servconn/21384/21384.htm

I have no experience with these products, just thought the information might be interesting.
