Re: OTM 5.5 Hardware

To get the best bang for the $$, you'll need to use the Intel platform which means your choice will be either Windows or Linux.

On a split stack I would recommend 8GB for app, web/rpt servers
Databse should have 16GB ram.

If you are going to use all in one for Test/Dev make sure that these servers have 16GB of ram.

You will find that OTM is a memory consuming application. JVMs start at 1.5 GB and can be configured to 2.4 GB which can grow up to 4 GB +


Running Solaris is an option but you will find it slow especially in a production environment unless you get the latest and greatest but it will be slower than an Intel server.
