Re: [firebird-support] Best Firebird Platform for our Environment

Hello,

You need to install 64Gb RAM.
If you effective drivers for HDD, OS is not very important.

 We are trying to determine the best platform for Firebird SQL 2.5.2. 
 Our firebird databases are 40-60gb in size and are being accessed by 
 dbase plus 2.6.2 programs. Currently we are running on Windows 2003 
 Server with dual Intel XEON E5430 quad-core processors and 8gb RAM. 
 This server is being accessed with Windows Remote Desktop. We are in 
 the process of replacing this server with a new server using 2 Intel 
 XEON E5-2640 processors and 16gb of RAM. We are trying to determine 
 whether we should go with Windows or Linux. We also want to consider 
 client/server versus the current model we are using. We would use 
 Intel I7-3770K processors with 8gb of ram for workstations.
