Heikki:
I agree with Daniel's recommendations because NetApps are FAST but it is NAS. It provides 99.99% availability instead of the pricy SAN with 99.999 availability. However, with the NetFiler, you save on clustered file systems and with the costs saving, you can always mirror your disks volumes to give you no single point of failure on the storage unit. Unless you absolutely need the 64GB/s type of I/O throughput, NetApp will do the job just fine. BTW, Oracle, Yahoo and Google uses Netapps for their Oracle DBs as well.
For the CPU, if you can only buy 1 CPU for your system, purchase the IBM PPC chip instead of Xeon. You can go to www.tpc.org to find out the numbers for this CPU. It is FAST and you can run RH Linux on it instead of AIX.
Regards,
Stephen Lee
