Hi
My company has the need to manage data for multiple customers. High
volume concurrent read and write access will be required to these
databases, so I'm trying to determine what hardware scenario is best
to support this requirement. Each database will be approx 0.5Tb in
size, and there are around 10 customers, meaning an overall size of
approx 5Tb.
The scenarios I'm considering are:
1) One large physical server with local RAID storage, or poss external
SAN
2) Multiple small physical servers (prob blades) connected to SAN
3) Multiple small virtual servers connected to SAN
The OS will be Linux (prob RHEL). When I'm using the word database
above I'm meaning a set of data tables for a particular customer - I
understand that this may have a different technical interpretation for
Oracle.
Any suggestions or pointers to further information would be
appreciated. Please post further questions if I've missed important
information.
Many thanks
Paul
I think hpuxrac pretty much covered it, I would just add:
You might consider checking licensing costs at the oracle store
(though keep in mind you should be able to negotiate with your Oracle
salesperson). The costs are not linear, small configuration changes
can mean big bucks, and overshadow hardware costs. Standard Edition
may be good enough for you, though Enterprise Edition may be required
if you need to meet Service Level Agreements (because of the
limitations of things like the Performance monitoring pack of EM).
The doc set at http://tahiti.oracle.com covers some of this.
Check whether Oracle supports your idea of virtualization.
