Good morning, listers

We are currently sizing servers for new Oracle / SLES project. HP Proliant hardware is being considered.

Could somebody explain, with as much details as possible, which one would better option - server with 4 dual core Xeon CPUs or server with 2 quad core Xeon CPUs? The rest of the setup - memory, storage OS version - are same for both options.

Servers would be primarily used for OLT Oracle workload (SAP database). Few hundred concurrent users at peak time.

Regards,
Vladimir Barac
