Hardware and Usage

My company is replacing our current tracking system with RT. There will
be a high volume of activity that RT needs to handle.

Our estimations on usage are as follows:
~50 queues (only a few visible to each users depending on permissions)
~600 total users (concurrent users is around 200-250 max)
~1000 tickets per day (max number)

The production hardware specs are as follows:

  • Solaris 10 x86 (fully spec’d)
  • 2- Ultra SPARC3 processors
  • ~8GB RAM
  • 2- 72GB high speed mirrored drives
  • Oracle DB on separate server
  • Latest versions of everything else

Is RT compatible with this hardware configuration? I’ve seen the
articles on Sun’s BigAdmin site but they are somewhat old. The usage is
a concern but should be able to handle it right? Some departments will
live and die by RT so it needs to be a concrete installation on the
right hardware.

Thanks in advance!

Um, Solaris 10 x86 on Sparc hardware?
