>... in my experience Oracle performance is much more dependent on user
load than amount of data in the database.  That being said, how busy are
the CPU's in the servers you currently have, and what does the memory
usage look like?  If you have significant physical IO, you will have to
worry about overloading your IO paths also.

 

For sure, and we're using AWR to get a feel for those loads.  AWR is
telling us that our current plan for consolidation would see each single
node server experience 50-90MB/s read+write (average, based on one week
last month) and up to 14 CPU-days for that same week.  Memory for
SGA+PGA would be 12-43GB per server.
