Has anyone tried migrating from a V440 or similar to the Sun X-series machines,
or benchmarked performance of Oracle on an X-series compared to an M-series?
We're considering trading in the T2000s for either M4000s or X4250s. The
M4000s are midrange servers running quad-core 2.4GHz SPARC64 VII processors for
about $50k and the X4250s are quad-core 3GHz Intel Xeons for about $5k. I know
the SPARC is RISC and the Xeon is CISC and I'm not sure about all the other
technical differences such as cache, bus speed, etc., but looking only at $/GHz
(dollars per GHz) the X-series blows the M-series away. I'm not a hardware
expert, but I'm guessing that's not exactly a valid comparison given the
different architectures. I'm just curious what real life testing with an ERP
application running on an Oracle database would have to say about it. I
googled for such a benchmark and couldn't find anything along these lines.
Thanks,
Brandon
