Hi All,

This is about considerations for Oracle Applications. A part of my question
deals with choosing hardware, and I have little knowledge on that front.

We are going for Oracle 11i, and the anticipated concurrent users are as
follows:

Form Users: 20  (max)
iExpense:       250 (max)
iProcure:       250 (max)

My first question is, what are the things I should consider, when deciding
between going for a 2-node or a single node install?

My second question is about hardware sizing. We are considering between 4
options for the servers (Single Node Install), based on the recommendation
by the consultant:

1. Sun Fire V480 (Small) : 2 x 1.05 GHz CPU, 4 GB RAM, 2 x 73 GB HDD
2. Sun Fire V480 (Medium): 4 x 1.05 GHz CPU, 8 GB RAM, 2 x 73 GB HDD
3. Sun Fire V440 (Small) : 2 x 1.062 GHz CPU, 4 GB RAM, 4 x 36 GB HDD
4. Sun Fire V440 (Medium): 4 x 1.062 GHz CPU, 8 GB RAM, 4 x 36 GB HDD

Which is the best configuration for the anticipated no. of concurrent users,
provided we opt for a single node install? Though the V440 and V480 have
similar configurations, yet V480 is almost twice as expensive as similar
configuration V440, can you please point me out what causes the major price
difference?

Any information on these issues will help a lot. If you don't have a direct
answer to my question, please broaden my knowledge about the things I should
consider when deciding on the above issues.

Regards
Naveen
