Hello,

I'm looking for advice on platform choice for an oracle database. What specifications in particular should I be looking at when purchasing a server to run Oracle 8i and Oracle application server.

Compaq claim their DS20 model is 'ideal' for running Oracle. But I am unsure of what makes it so 'ideal'. What do you need to best serve Oracle (apart from lots of diskspace if you need it). Is Oracle more suited to a sun or a DEC or an NT or is it down to the OS?

Many thanks for any advice received.

Jamie
