For your mid tiers, I would look at some of the earlier posts on the list but basically, Mid Tier doesn't work properly if you try to use more than 1.4gb of RAM in Java. That may be something to consider when sizing those boxes.

I think we may go 2008sp2 - not sure if it will be real or virtual. Our QA environment is virtual (2003 64 bit) and seems to not have issues.

So in your case a RAM upgrade without an OS upgrade would be a waste. I will also say we had a server 2003 setup with 7.6.04 with 4 GB of RAM and it screwed up badly due to running out of RAM while working with CMDB. We moved to server 2008 (64-bit) with 8 GB of RAM and everything is great. Dave Erickson ASSOCIATE BUSINESS SYSTEMS ANALYST, AQUA BALANCE ECOLAB 370 WABASHA STREET NORTH, ST.

I have requested a memory upgrade - but to do that we need an OS upgrade. Server group wants sizing recommendations for processor power - what will be enough for a 5 year life cycle on the server? We are planning on increasing the RAM to 8GB now Thanks Craig _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are" CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail communication and any attachments may contain proprietary and privileged information for the use of the designated recipients named above.
