Hi.
I was tasked to purchase a new server for the new Oracle ERP (customized, not from Oracle itself) for a company. ERP users will be less than 50 users.
I am currently looking at R730 with the following configurations in mind.
1x Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4
8x 16GB 2400MT/s RDIMM
8x 300GB 15K 12GB/s SAS Drives
This would be my first implementation of a server so I honestly don't know it this config is enough for an Oracle database with less than 50 concurrent users. Or maybe it is even an overkill.
Also, I don't know what to do with the drives, should I get 8x300GB and run in RAID 10? What RAID and size is applicable for an ERP system(Oracle database)?
This are the client's requirements.
1. Hyper-V
2. 2 VM - 1 ERP, 1 Domain Controller
That's it. That's the info they gave me.
So my questions again are.
1. Does my initial config OK for an ERP system?
2. What RAID configuration and size of disk should I get? Client said that from their current system data size is 2-3GB/year.
