We currently have approximatly 90 sites with 600 threads on our production server which is running AIX 5.3 currently. We are currently maxing out this server and it is time for a new one. The consideration at present is to move to some intel RedHat servers, although the release notes indicate that 64 bit RedHat is not supported.
We need more than the 3.5 GB RAM that the 32 bit OS will provide (looking closer to 12-16 GB RAM)
Is anyone using 64bit RedHat for their production environment?
have you come into any issues with crashes, etc?
Is there any issues with io performance that you have needed to deal with?
Another option for us is to spread the load across several servers, but that adds complexity in terms of failover and load ballancing.
Upgrading to a new AIX server may be an issue due to time constraints and funding.
