Hi, We have a IBM RS6000 F50 running AIX 4.3.3 with 3 CPU's and 9 mirrored disks and 1.5 GB internal memory. DBMS Basis 9.1 runs on it. This database can be compared with Oracle regarding performance. However it's not multi-threading. We are thinking of upgrading hardware. The F50 cannot handle the job anymore. The Basis DBMS runs on AIX, Linux and SUN. Our database will be around 60 GB and should be spreaded on multiple disks (at least 4). In total we need at least 10 disks (20-40 GB). We need 2-4 GB memory. The solution should be cheap but also reliable. So, we prefer cheap memory and cheap (instead of expensive IBM SSA disks) SCSI or even IDE disks. Please advise. Regards, Louis Banens
