- We're researching the feasibility and wisdom of replacing our major
- administrative systems (independent of each other & running on the
- mainframe) with an integrated set of systems based on Oracle, running
- on Unix boxes.
-
- I've been asked to focus on the overall performance issues involved -
- specifically, to find, talk with, and even visit sites running loads
- and transaction mixes roughly like or more challenging than those we
- anticipate. Let's say 800 to 1500 simultaneous users, doing what
- the Interbase folk are fond of calling "online complex transaction
- processing" - i.e., mixed inquiries and updates with complex
- transactions that vary widely (as opposed to high transaction volumes
- that are predominantly inquiries or that consist of nearly identical
- transactions). As I said, I'm interested in Oracle running under Unix,
- on any hardware configuration, any architecture (unified, distributed,
- whatever).
-
- If you are at or know of such a site I'd appreciate email or a phone call
- from you. If you send me a phone number I can then call you on our nickel.
- Unless you explicitly say it's okay I won't give your name or other
- identifying info to anyone else.
-
- Or, if your site tried to do this but the attempt crashed and burned, I'd
- very much like to talk with you!
-
- If you know of recent articles, consulting group reports available
- for purchase, etc., I would also be interested in those; but my primary
- goal is to talk directly with, and perhaps visit, actual sites.

- The best email address to use is the one in the signature, below.
