Compaq 6000
(4) PII 400 Xeon
2GB RAM
63GB Database
Oracle 7.3.4.2
NT 4.0 SP4
approx 30 users(OLAP/Supply Chain Optimization System) Not a lot of users, but a hell of a lot of crunching due to statistical forecast generation and "what-if" scenarios.

No problems to date. It has been a consistently reliable server with more than acceptable performance. Until recently, I would have argued against Oracle on NT. Now I view it as an acceptable alternative if UNIX is not an option. I have no experience on anything larger on NT. 50 GB is still pretty small for Oracle, so you should have no problem with the right hardware.

If you are planning on going large, you should probably look into one of the various Unix platforms. As personal favorites, I'd recommend Sun or IBM.

Hope this helps,

Denzil
