I am a Sun Systems Engineer working with a customer to
consolidate a number of small Progress 8.X systems
running SCO 5.X onto a single Solaris 8 cluster, and I
need assistance with sizing. I have not been able to
find the information that I need and would greatly
appreciate any assistance that anyone could offer.
A brief outline of the project is:
160 Stores, 90 of which have SCO running on Intel, 200
and 300MHz single processor machines. Stores not
equipped with processors are connected via WAN to
stores with processors.
Application is green screen, accessed via telnet. Total
number of users is roughly 650, with roughly half that
number being concurrent users.
Customer wants to eliminate remote processors due to
administrative/maintenance burden and relocate all
processing to highly available Solaris cluster located
at corporate hq.
Any help that anyone could provide on generating a
recommended system specification (# cpu's, cpu speed,
amount of ram, swap space, etc.) would earn my undying
gratitude!
Thanks in advance!
