We are evaluating an HA (Cluster) solution from SUN Microsystems and IBM, but i have some questions about the capacity of Informix server of work in that environment. I hope that someone can help me with this. 1. Do I have to buy Informix Paralell Server or IDS.2000? It is an OLTP environment... 2. With the case that we have two machines in cluster using a cluster software from a machine provider, Can Informix servers work together sharing 50% of the work? 3. If I have an application running on 4GL (RDS), Do I have to buy licences of informix products for both machines? 4. Is Informix data replication capability more efficient that HA environment based on cluster software from a machine provider? Thanks.
