    I've been asked to outline everything that would be needed for an SAP
system (HR and FI to start) running against Oracle - hardware, software,
tools etc.  They said that money isn't an object but reliability is.  Also I
want to leave the door open for web enabling many things, although
client/server is how they'll start.  I haven't worked with SAP before so I'd
be interested in feedback from anyone who has.  The initial system will run
100-200G, not tiny but definitely not terabyte-sized either.  It should run
24/7 or close - perhaps there will be a window for shutdowns on Sunday
night.
   What would you suggest and why?  Any ideas are welcome!
