Thanks LKB ,

Would anybody know what is the minimum hardware config. for an average Data Warehouse System? Can I recommend 2GB Mem and Dual processor Unix box as baseline?


Thanks a lot....
ate,
your recommendation will be based on how huge the data you are going to warehouse, how many concurrent users will it have, response time requirement. Adhoc Reports requirements.

Most probably 2G is less, dual CPUs would be fine(but still depend on how the requirement needs. Can probable start with 2CPUs expandable to 8CPUs.
Maybe you need to pay attention also to storage planning like RAID implementation(RAID5). How often data will be updated, Data retention.
