IMHO, I would never opt for only 1 cpu. There should be at least 2, if you are going to be using parallel query, then 4 cpus. After 4, on many platforms, there is diminshing return on investment. That's my rule of thumb, and I have nothing to base it on but gut feeling.

Hi,

What should be the basis of selecting a type of server machine? Single processor, two processor, four processor How many years down the road should one plan for?

In web deployment, the web server will have connection(s) with data server
and can be configured for connection sharing. What role the number of connections between data and web server plays in server selection?

Please do give some solid guidelines.

TIA! Aleem
