Re: Hardware question for a DB server

What type of usage does it need to scale for?  How many concurrent
connections?  What size database?  Data warehousing or OLTP-type
workloads?  Ratio of reads/writes?  Do you care about losing data?

One question that's likely going to be important depending on your
answers above is whether or not you're getting a battery-backed write
cache for that ServeRAID-8K.
