Need help sizing Oracle Apps on Solaris

Our company is finally ready to take the ERP plunge. Our company provides HR and Payroll outsourcing to small businesses - we expect that 65% of our transactions volume will be in the Oracle HR/Payroll modules. Additionally, we will be using the Financials (5% of transactions), and CRM (25% of transactions). The last 5% will be used for OLAP and other cross-module reporting.

We are currently running payroll for about 10,000 employees. We let each of our clients keep their existing pay schedule, so instead of having one or two really large payroll runs, we have 600 smaller runs. These currently happen during regular business hours, but are distributed throughout the day, and throughout the week (although we typically have more activity on Tuesday and Wednesday. A weekly breakdown of transaction activity would show M-15%, T-30%, W-35%, Th- 10%, F-10%).

I'm currently only have experience on NT, which we believe will not be scalable/available enough for this project, and was hoping to get some help from you all on what kind of hardware we should get for both the DB server and the App Server (we expect to put Developer Server and OAS on the same box, but don't necessarily have to do this).

We were kind of eye-balling the Sun Enterprise 4500 with one or two A1000 disk arrays for the DB, and a Sun Enterprise 420 for the App Server, but this is really just a shot in the dark.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Stephen Moore
