I'm working with a data warehouse application on UnixWare on the new Stratus Radio cluster using Informix 7.10.....We're looking at a size of upwards of 200 gig for a typical installation. Our original processing time estimates were ~30 hours....we're finishing in less than four. I wouldn't worry about complex, large applications on this platform combination.
