The new server will be about 300gig of raw > space. Have a look at http://www.miracleas.com/BAARF/oow2000_same.pdf and http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/pdf/SAME_HP_WP_1120 02.pdf which brings to light an interesting alternative. It describes the S.A.M.E methodology (Stripe and Mirror Everything). Although the article focuses on a different DB server provider, it would be interesting to know if anyone in the Informix community has experimented with such an approach. Ron
