475.0. "Informix Server To Configure" by BIS1::brodhcp1-227.bro.dec.com::WorkBenchUser () Mon Feb 10 1997 04:53

        Hello,

        I am currently trying to configure a Alphaserver to run Informix and 
that has following customer requirements (Datawarehousing application) :

        CPU : 12 x Pentium 133 Mhz or RISC equivalent (they have NCR today)
        Memory : 512 MB
        Disks : 40 GBytes in a raid box
        Tape :DTL able to backup unattended in 3 hours.

        I know we still need more specifics on those requirements to be able 
to size the machine but :

        1. Is there any site where I can get configuration support for 
        Informix on AlphaServer ?

        2. What type of machine do you suggest (AS4100, AS8200, AS8400 ?)

        Thanks for your support.

        Best regards

        PAUL

	After I checked with the Database Market Development Group (Paul Krneta) and the Database Technology Center (Kuk Chung), and they hadn't responded to Paul's request, I provided him some configuration consulting via email, a week or so after his original note here. It would be nice to hear if he wins the business. Doug Olson Informix Onsite Project Manager
