Just wondering if anyone on the list who has worked with a concurrent peak user load in the thousands (1000 - 5000) would mind sharing some nuggets on the hardware they used to support such a load. The load would come from an OLTP (80/20 r/w) web application using JBOSS application pools to the Oracle 11gR2 Ent database. I've been doing some research looking at powerful systems capable of supporting 80 Intel cores per system and connecting that with some PCIe Flash Memory for the L2 cache (flash cache) as well as using shared storage into a RamSan-630 via FC in order to maximize the use of the CPU cores and fast I/O. This would likely be a RAC scenario with two like servers. By the way, I am aware of how relatively "cheap" (cough) the hardware is compared to the millions in Oracle licensing this will cost. Still, I suspect the entire thing will be cheaper overall than an Exadata x2-8 system. Thanks!
