Yep,
the "money no object" lasted for a while, then the fab closed down

size=2>Actually, it really depends on the industry at the moment as to whether
or not money is no object. Currently money is a huge issue. The
semi-conductor fabs are not doing so hot right now (at least not the memory
producing ones). Fabs are all pretty much in a slow down.

By
the sounds of it, Kimberley was in a very similar situation to me when I was
working for a semi-conductor manufacturing company afew years ago (the worst
job I ever had).Basically money was no object and anything was feasible as
long as the fab kept running 24x7.

Thanks Kimberly,
I wish it was that way. I
have to justify my request with hard numbers or they are going to laugh at
me when I say, "Because that's what I want". :) They don't yet
know how I'd react to that, it would be a knee-jerk type of reaction
involving creative expletives... not pretty.
Good for you. At least you
have some real hardware and true HA. I wish I did
Lisa

RE: Sizing a new server
Get the biggest, kick ass
server they will let you buy. If your site is anything like mine
they just keep asking for more and more databases. So no matter
what I have now I know its not enough. I am really happy with the
nice new N-class HP cluster I have sitting next door running Service
Guard. I am also getting a A-class database cluster for some
important but not fab critical databases. Now if I can only get
ride of the 5 K-class database servers. Its kind of like when you
go from a fast to a slow PC. Drives me crazy. Not that there
are issues with performance from the databases. It would only be
me, while playing (which of course means working) on the server,
that would notice.

server
Good morning everyone,
Lucky me, I get to choose the size
of the server this company should consider purchasing. I have
been poking around on the net for any guidelines - I can make guesses
based upon my gut feel and how strapped the current unix server is,
but I want to be able to back this up with hard numbers. This is
for a dw application.
Can anyone point me to a website,
book, or anything in particular that can help me justify sizing a
machine? It's so fun working for a company that doesn't have a
sysadmin on staff...
Thanks
