Reconfigure all the hardware to work with IDS 9.4

Hi to all, A happy, healthy and successfull 2009 first! In my company we have Informix 9.4 FC6 on BULL machines PL...and OS is AIX 5.3 We are thinking of changing the machines to new machine from BULL like: Escala PL6460R (first choice) Escala PL6450R Escala PL3260R Escala PL1660R What I would like to know is if, Informix 9.4.FC6 is supported on this kind of machines? The major goal of this change is to have faster OLTP. Despite the fact of moving to newer and faster machines what else do we have to keep in mind to achieve faster OLTP? Disk Configuration .....? (RAID 5, RAID 10...) Memory ........? ( used for IDS - what is the maximum it can be recognized from IDS) And so on I would like your suggestions on this to build a very powerful, reliable and fast environment for OLTP and batch processing as well. Keep though in mind that we have to buy the machines from BULL www.bull.com <http://www.bull.com/>; Best Regards Cooperative Computer Society (S.E.M) Ltd 1306 Nicosia P.O.B. 25037 CY Tel: +357 22 673 901 Fax: +357 22 672 774 Achilleas Achilleos Official A OS and Databases Management AchilleasAchilleos@semltd.com.cy ---------------------------------------------------------- This email and its contents are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
