我们正在寻找一个新环境来运行在SUSE上运行的Oracle数据库(可能迁移到RedHat).我们的数据库大约为100GB,并且在我们当前的硬件(x86_64)上运行充足,并为其分配了大约6GB的RAM.然而,我们正在迅速发展,并且很快将需要更多的表现
@H_404_30@考虑到Oracle许可证的成本,我们希望通过选择最适合运行该软件的cpu来最大化每个许可证的价值.
问题是：
Are there substantial benefits to
looking at Itanium or Sparc hardware,are there
any drawbacks? Is there a point where
one starts to scale out better?What are the long term support options
for Itanium? Given the dominance of
x86 would it be safer long term to
stick with x86?On average what would be the
performance benefit of implementing an
Oracle database on Itanium or Sparc over
x86_64? Is this an issue at all or
will other factors (IO/RAM) cap out
first?
如果有人能够指出我在平台之间进行比较的一些可靠的文档,这些文档提供了何时选择哪个我非常乐意接受作为答案的良好案例分析.
编辑：-
添加Sparc作为选项,因为之前没有考虑过,最近的Oracle Sun aquisition似乎非常相关.
