Thanks Kimberly, 
I wish it was that way.  I have to justify my request with hard numbers or
they are going to laugh at me when I say, "Because that's what I want".  :)
They don't yet know how I'd react to that, it would be a knee-jerk type of
reaction involving creative expletives...  not pretty.  
Good for you.  At least you have some real hardware and true HA.  I wish I
did 
Lisa

Get the biggest, kick ass server they will let you buy.  If your site is
anything like mine they just keep asking for more and more databases.  So no
matter what I have now I know its not enough.  I am really happy with the
nice new N-class HP cluster I have sitting next door running Service Guard.
I am also getting a A-class database cluster for some important but not fab
critical databases.  Now if I can only get ride of the 5 K-class database
servers.  Its kind of like when you go from a fast to a slow PC.  Drives me
crazy.  Not that there are issues with performance from the databases.  It
would only be me, while playing (which of course means working) on the
server, that would notice.

Good morning everyone, 
Lucky me, I get to choose the size of the server this company should
consider purchasing.  I have been poking around on the net for any
guidelines - I can make guesses based upon my gut feel and how strapped the
current unix server is, but I want to be able to back this up with hard
numbers.  This is for a dw application.
Can anyone point me to a website, book, or anything in particular that can
help me justify sizing a machine?  It's so fun working for a company that
doesn't have a sysadmin on staff...  
Thanks
