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,
