Re: Planning a new Installation
Smith John asked for a recommended architecture for a new 11.70 installation. Art Kagel advised Linux on Intel Xeon E5/E7 bare metal, avoiding virtual machines, RAID5, BTRFS and journaling filesystems. When asked if this suits production, he said yes and listed AIX on Power7/8, Solaris on SPARC T5/T6 and HP-UX on Itanium as also working well.

hello can anyone propose me a architecture, for 11.70 version please
Linux on Intel Xeon E5 or E7 processors works very well. Avoid Virtual Machines - bare iron only. Avoid RAID5. Avoid BTRFS - initial testing shows poor performance with Informix. Avoid any journaling filesystems or disable the journaling if possible (ie on EXT3/EXT4). Art Art S.

Art this architecture is for production use ?
Yes. Others work well also. AIX/Power7 or Power 8, Solaris/Sparc (preferrably T5 or T6 processors - the earlier Niagra (T-class) processors were not suited to use for databases and other complex processes), HPUX/Itanium.
