Sparc vs Intel performance

kmgrady01 · #1 (**permalink**) 12-06-2001

Hello all,
I have been trying to find any data that states what platform would garner better overall performance in an Oracle Cluster.

The scenario:

This is a high traffic e-commerce site with IIS and Commerce server on the front end. The backend consists of a Sun Solaris hardware/software cluster running Oracle 8.

I have been charted to spec out a new infrastructure to manage the site in house. There is a possibility of moving to a SQL 2000/w2K solution in the future due to CIO. My question is, does anyone know how the following server specs would compare in performance for the Oracle cluster:

Sun Solaris configuration:
2 E3500 Servers each with
8 464-MHz w/8MB cache
4GB RAM
2 A5100 Storedge

Intel Configuration:
2 Compaq DL760 servers each with
8 900-MHz ZEON w/2MB cache
4GB RAM
2 4100 Array enclosures

Either one of these configurations would be running Solaris 8

Any insight would be greatly appreciated as I am new to Unix and the Sun Sparc platform. Thank you
