A company I know has a complicated distributed application with strong
reliance on Sybase database. They have 8-Intel-CPU monsters for that purpose,
which are running Windows 2000.
My question is: what would it take for them to run Sybase on top of Linux,
instead? Is Linux's SMP ready for this
Hi,
Well, in terms of Unix/Linux and 8 Way server - I think the kernel 2.6.x could
do a great job (you might want to try the upcoming SuSE 9.1 or Redhat's RHAS
3.0)..
As for DB - you have 2 choices which are really good with 8 way machines -
either IBM's DB/2 or Oracle. I don't have any info
