I wouldn't use Intel Solaris.

But NT and Solaris are both good for this type of task.

Perhaps a E450, Blade 1000, Quad Xeon 700 would be what you are looking for. All three should be able to support what you mentioned, depends on the size of the transactions and such, but it seems like a relatively small db.

Hi all,

        I have to buy new db server.
I'm using Oracle on *nix with cca 10GB db for 3-tier architecture software. The IS will have about 300-500 users (parallel cca 200) and the operations are mostly transactional.
My question is about HW.
Have I use Intel or Sparc?
What do you recommend and what's your experience with support, upgrade and TCO? Thanks
