RE: Capacity Planning

If this weren't a hypothetical situation I would say that most major app vendors do have a sizing department and also recommend working with your hardware partner with your custom sizing.  

If it's a custom app then as you say you need to measure (maybe perform load testing) and extrapolate the best you can.

Hi Ranko

What if the application is new? For example you have to migrate a Peoplesoft CRM to Siebel can you take Peoplesoft metrics and use that in Siebel?

Or you are putting a new fresh application.

Cheers

                Hi                 

                I was wondering if anyone know any source about effective Oracle RDBMS Capacity Planning. I mean effective because in the past I have seen many so called "Capacity Plan" which failed miserably in the practice. I am not sure how can a DBA perform Capacity Planning without knowing much about the application?                 

                Cheers
