We currently run OnLine 5.X on an RS/6000 running AIX 3.2.5. We inherited the RS/6000 580 and our experience has been that this is not the first platform which Informix ports release to. I am interested in which platforms are better support by Informix. (eg. HP, Sun?) Our configuration is roughly: - 100 users - 3 database sessions - largest database is 1GB - mostly billing and collecting (accounting) processes - OLTP - CSR's querying customer records - 100,000 customers - 2+ million invoices - 30,000 invoice being calculated / posted each month. If I had to stay with IBM, I would move to a 4 processor J30, 512MB RAM, 6GB RAID 10 disk. Any input appreciated.
