Siebel Developer workstation - hardware recommendations

According to the SRSP for Tools client a minimum is a PII 500 or Celeron 800 with 512K. For the mobile client requirements is even less. I have installed Tools and mobile client on a Celeron 3Ghz, 480Mb memory for setting up a Developer.
Often the developer will have the client and tools open... When trying to work on this workstation it is very very slow...
Pls. what would be a "practical" hardware recommendation for a Developer workstation ?
Txs. Antonio

Hi,
Core 2 Duo or i3 with minimum 4GB memory is more than sufficient.
Actually, tools and client consume more RAM compare to processing.

Hardware recommendations for Oracle server

I'm looking for hardware recommendations for a new Oracle database server. I'd like to have Active/Passive redundancy, so I imagine an external storage device is necessary. Does Oracle publish any hardware recommendations based on budget? I'm not sure what our budget would be but I can assume two database servers and a single external storage device in the $20k range.

Oracle does not publish any recommendations at all.
If they did, the recommendations would be based on load and expected performance characteristics, not based on budget.
Your best bet is to chose a vendor (Sun, IBM, HP, Dell) and ask them. Each of those vendors has a group that specializes in answering this kind of question.

Hardware recommendations for capturing VHS / RCA composite better than Hauppauge USB?

Hi folks,
I am trying to archive our old VHS tapes (NTSC 720x480 29.97 fps). I am using a $45 Hauppauge USB-Live-2 Video Capture. It's certainly adequate to see what's happenning in general, but it's also not as good as one would see e.g. playing these tapes on a TV. In particular, the right side of the image is missing some pixels (as though the right-most 20 or so pixels are blacked out, all up and down the right edge). Quite possibly, there are other subtler problems.
FWIW, I am doing the initial capture with AVS Video Recorder (to UYVY AVI format), then importing this (DV NTSC 720x480 29.97 fps) to PE11 and exporting to DV NTSC 720x480 29.97 fps MP4. PE11's MP4s are about 30% the size of the AVS AVIs.
Bill Hunt here recommended looking into DV Bridges (thanks, Bill!). However, I am not entirely sure what to look for. I found some Canopus devices on NewEgg, but they are $170, $200, or more. I'm not sure it's worth $200 just to save a 20-pixel edge on approximately 30 home videos. Anyway, can anyone point me toward hardware that works well with PE11 and VHS composite?
Thanks if you can help!
Mike

You get what you pay for.
I have been using a Canopus ADVC100 for almost 10 years, and have had 100% success right out of the box the first time I used it. As noted above the model 55 (which wasn't available when I bought my unit) should be all you need.
Before I got the Canopus unit I tried several 'cheaper' (USB) devices but never got satisfactory repeatable reuslts. Be sure you have at least a Firewire 400 connection. If you need to add such a port make sure the device uses a TI chip to avoid conversion problems. I purchased a " Syba Low Profile PCI-Express 1394b/1394a (2B1A) Card, TI Chipset, Extra Regular Bracket SD-PEX30009 " (which has both FW 400 & 800 ports) apprx $26 from Amazon.
By the way I use the Canopus to convert/capture both VHS and Hi8 analog tapes.

Hardware recommendation for a real-time camera

Hi All,
We are interested in using some cameras with LabVIEW real-time for some data acquisition. We are monitoring quite a large array of points for on/off signals (so a camera is easier to implement than an array of photodiodes). Our initial spec is a CCD, 640x480 chip and about 15fps. I'm guessing firewire or Gig-E as the interface as I've heard USB is not compatible with real-time.
Our plan is to develop the application to run under LabVIEW real-time on a PXI platform. We also hope to eventually deploy the system so we'd prefer not to use NI Vision (I'm not sure if this is possible or not). Similarly due to cost we'd prefer not to use the Embedded/Compact Vision Systems if we can avoid it.
Can anyone recommend a camera which they have used with LabVIEW real-time? I have no real experience with RT as yet so any advise at all would be a great help.
We are also hoping to deploy the system using a cRIO as the main hardware platform. I've seen real-time cRIOs (http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/208042) have Gig-E built in. Has anyone used a Gig-E camera directly with one of these controllers?
Thanks for your help,
Dave

Hello DeltaJ,
Can I suggest that you contact the UK branch by calling 01635 523545 and request that you speak to you local Inside Sales Representative. They will be able to speak to you further regarding your full systems specifications and suggest which NI products will be best for you.

IMovie/iDVD hardware recommendations, please

Hi all,
I've recently started trying to convert our home videos to DVD. I have a G4/DA, 533, w/ 256MB RAM running OS X 10.3.9 and iLife '05, and a FW camcorder.
My first attempt using iDVD's One Touch DVD feature resulted in an estimated completion of over 24 hours. Since I have several dozen tapes to convert, I thought I'd pick some brains here and see if I can get it down.
My first thought was faster hardware, but I can't afford a new Mac Pro with 8 cores .
I've looked at a CPU upgrade, like this: http://www.newertech.com/products/maxpower48.php , which would give me a 1.8 Ghz for <$400.00.
Alternatively, I have a line on a G4 MDD dual 1.42 Ghz machine that might go for approximately the same price. I'm also aware of a G5 dual 1.8 that's being replaced in a couple of weeks.
Does anyone have any recommendations (either these or anything else) for what I am doing? What about an iMac? How would those handle this task? Does the small size of the iMac (or mini?) have a problem with exhausting heat?
What would give me the greatest bang for the buck? Should I just max out the RAM and stay with what I have?
Whatever I go with, I'll probably also upgrade to Leopard. Does the new(er) versions of iLife offer any advantages for simple video-2-DVD conversions with maybe a little iMovie menus and such thrown in?
TIA!
Paul.

You may be better off just purchasing a new Mac Mini. Or even one of the previous generation models used or refurbished. Considering the money you'd pay for an upgrade, Leopard, and iLife. Plus even with the CPU upgrade you'd be running at a slower bus speed. A new intel Mac would be much faster, especially dealing with video editing with iMovie.
I use iMovie on my intel iMac from 2006 and it runs great. Any modern intel Mac will run iLife perfectly, there's no need to go out and get an 8 core Mac Pro haha. A Mac Mini would be a good bet, although you may want an external hard drive for faster speeds and more storage.

Senior Design HVAC trainer. Sensors and hardware recommendations.

I am working on a Senior Design project revamping an HVAC trainer. It currently has a LonWorks server UNC-410-1 and two MNL-800 controllers. It is our intension to interface with the current equipment and read the data into LabView for classroom LAB projects. In this scenario, I understand that I have to have a LonWorks OPC server (software) in order to use LabView's OPC plugin to access the pins on the controllers. However, I am uncertain as to what additional hardware I will need to interface with the unit.  I have seen equipment from Easylon such as the Easylon Ethernet Adapter that is designed for this purpose. Obviously, since this is a senior design project, our budget is limited unless we are able to locate a sponsor do donate the hardware. For this reason, I am researching alternative solutions to our problem.
The other alternative is to start over with NI hardware and manipulate the data in LabView. I have researched what to use on the NI website such as the SCXI-1122 and SCXI-1322 termianl block. This will require a chassy SCXI-1000, and a contoller SCXI-1600 USB. The price for these items comes to around $3950.00. I am hoping I can manipulate the data with a 32 voltage input DAQ instead. I have acheived this with thermisters but have not attempted a pressure transducer nor a thermocouple.
I will need to read in 12 thermolcouples and four pressure transducers for line pressure. I would like a couple of outputs in case I want to shut off the compressor or fan motor. Any recommendations on what hardware I will need for this for the lowest cost possible?  Any other recommendations?
Thanks,
Richard

I live in Lombard, IL and have taken professional enrichment Certification Courses - LabVIEW Core 1 and Core 2 this past July. My skills are fresh, sharp, and honed. I have had several years of experience programming LabVIEW for companies like Motorola, Tellabs, and ElectroDynamics. I have a full career developing Automated Test Equipment and a plethora of programming skills. I am interested in your position on a full-time basis.

Hardware Recommendations - Running Windows 7 w/ AutoCAD through Parallels 9

My fiance is doing some independent interior design work and requires AutoCAD for rendering/drafting. She's much more comfortable with the Windows version of Autocad, so I looked into a VM install. She currently has a late-2008 Macbook pro, 2.5Ghz dual-core processor with 4GB of RAM. I installed Parallels 9 with a Windows 7 VM to run AutoCAD, but it's almost unusable. When Parallels is on the machine is already running hot, and opening AutoCAD takes at least 10-15 minutes and is very slow to respond.
Since her macbook is almost 6 years old, it would seem that hardware is the major issue here. I'm looking into a newer machine for her but I'm concerned with how much processing power she'll need without spending an-arm-and-a-leg. Is anyone else running a similar Parallels/Windows7/AutoCAD setup? How much CPU power is recommended? I would assume 4GB of RAM isn't going to cut it, at least 8 would be beneficial. How about hard-drive speed?

A late 2008 MBP can accept 8 GB RAM with the following specifications:
204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
The most reliable vendors of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
Ciao.

Hardware recommendations for render farm?

Hello,
what would you recommend for a small render farm for mixed AE projects (mostly HD content, short projects with only a few seconds and layers and bigger ones with multiple HD layers and up to 15min or longer.)
is it better to have more cores (AMD opteron servers with 48 cores for example) or better more performance per core but less cores (Intel Xeon servers)?
And how much memory would be optimal?
What can you recommend for network connection to the shared storaged, how fast shall this be?

I like Harm's analogy better then mine. One prize cow vs. 20 regular cows. The imagery is very clear. In a production environment, where volume counts, more is better then a single top notch one. A single cow can only produce so much mik per day, no matter how extraordinary it is. But 20 can theoretically produce 20 times more (practically, maybe 17 to 18). Quantity, not quality. I'm not saying that you should get crappy hardware. Just good hardware, not high performance ones.
As you know, it's not because you buy a computer that costs twice as much, that you'll get twice the processing power. First of all, forget dual CPU computers for a render farm, it's not worth it. Get a regular quad core. As you compare prices vs. performance (do a chart), get the CPU that gives you the best bang for the buch (just before the price curve goes up).
I personally think 32GB is overkill in a render farm environment. 16GB is way more then enough. Remember that you're not doing a RAM preview farm (if such a thing exists), but rather, fractioning the render process to various computers. While 16GB is good, 2GB isn't. But 8GB can be an nice compromise. Remember, you're trying to drive the cost down of a computer, so you can buy many computers. But RAM is cheap, so, best bang for the buck, 16GB can be possible. Then again, it depends on other overall factors to keep the price for the computer down.
Network speed. Yes you could get 10GB NICs and a 10GB switch. But that can drive the price up substantially. If you can get a good price on them, great. If not, stick to 1GB. Get a motherboard that has 2x 1GB NICs on board, so you can aggregate the network connections together to get 2GB. You could eventually add a quad 1GB PCIe card down the road. The computer that has the project assets should have an aggregated quad (or more) NIC inside. You want to be able to push the media as fast as possible to the render farm.
Other things to consider... or rather, not consider. Graphic card is a non issue on a server farm. AE is all about CPU. Some mobos come with on-board graphics. Usually, it's cheaper, and consumes less power. You also want to drive the energy costs down when you multiply by X number of computers. Just get a KVM solution that will be able handle X computers. You don't need a RAID on render farm computers. A regular hard drive will do. I'd even go with a green drive that consumes less power.
And depending on how many computers you have, to reduce the footprint, you might want to get low profile rackmount casings and put them in a rack. Plus think of putting it in it's own room, because it'll be very noisy!

Hardware recommendations for a newbie

After many long and frustrating years at the hands of PC and MS I will soon be purchasing an iMac (it seems to be a world of bliss in comparison to my current setup!)
Soon after the iMac (2.4GHz, 1GB RAM, Mac OS X v10.4.10) I will be purchasing an audio interface and midi controller for use with GB8 and perhaps later with ProTools. I generally do home recording with guitars, mic and some midi, no more than 2-4 tracks at a time. I would like the option of portable (ie USB or Firewire for a laptop when required). Looking at keeping the spending on both items to aproximately Aust$500 (US$400) each.
Do any of you kind folks have some ideas as to stable and compatible hardware which would suit my needs and also offer the versatility of using within other applications (ProTools) at a later date?
At this stage the PreSonus Firebox has been recommended to me as a suitable Interface for my needs, the M-Audio 410 has been stated as having driver probs.
In regards to midi controllers have looked at M-Audio Axiom49, however some have stated that is not a simple plugnplay as some other options.
Would sincerely appreciate your ideas and suggestions to get me on the way.
Many Thanks

As far as Quality and just all around "Goodness", you can't go wrong with PreSonus, they make GREAT hardware (I use a FirePod). I'm not sure about being bus powered though, someone else will have to comment on that (or you'll need to do a bit more research)
Here's a jumping off point:

For a Controller, check of out the first one listed here (It's the one I have), pure plug and play:

Hardware recommendations for learning Solaris Cluster on Sparc (at home)

On a low budget, I'd like to put together a Solaris Cluster on Sparc (at home). At "work" in the next year we will be implementing a Solaris Cluster to run Tomcat and a custom CORBA server. (These apps will be migrated from very old hardware and VCS) The CORBA server is a Sparc binary, hence the need for Sparc. I'd like my home-office cluster to be similar in function to what I have at work. At work we have (2) T5120 Servers and a 2540 (2500-M2) Array waiting. From looking at the Solaris Cluster docs, it looks like you use a 2540 in a Direct-Connect configuration. We will be going to Solaris Cluster training eventually, but not soon. In the meantime, I'd like to keep/gain some skills/experience.
Potential (cheap) Home Cluster:
(2) SunFire V245 or (2) T1000 or (2) something_cheap
connected to
(1) Storedge D2 or (1) Storedge S1
My main desire, is for the interconnects and failover on this Home Cluster to behave the same way as the T5120s with the 2540 Array. Example, if I yank a HD (or replace) then I'd like it to give very similar messages to what I will face at work in the future. I'd like the creation of ZFS pools etc to work similarly. I'd like SCSI cards (HBAs or whatever) and cabling to be cheap.
Any recommendations on hardware> Servers? Arrays? SCSI Cards/cabling?
Thanks,
Scott

I settled on:
(2) Sunfire V210
Storedge 3120
Connected by VHDCI
All used equipment at a cheap price. Should be a great little testbed.

Hardware recommendations for Planning & HFM

We currently have Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3 running on three servers (one dedicated for RDBMS, one dedicate for Essbase, and another that is running everything else (EPMA, Planning, Financial Reporting, Shared Services, Workspace, Calc Manager, etc).
We are going to implementing HFM and upgrading to 11.1.2 for our current components and I have reviewed the server sizing for 500 users (175 active) for Planning and HFM. I was wondering if anyone had any experience running both Planning and HFM together and if I need to bump up the server specs for anything to run both smoothly?
The EPMA Installation Start Here recommends the following for Planning for Windows Servers:
Web Server: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 16 GB RAM
Essbase Server: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 8 GB RAM
Other Services Server: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 16 GB RAM
RDBMS Server: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 16 GB RAM
And recommends for HFM:
Web Server: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 16 GB RAM
Financial Management Server: 8 x 3 GHZ + 16 GB RAM
Other Services Server: 2 x 3 GHZ + 8 GB RAM
RDBMS: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 16 GB RAM
The Essbase server for Planning will be dedicated, and the Financial Management Server for HFM will be dedicated, but if we wanted to share the Web Server and Other Services Server for both Planning and HFM, do you think we need to size these servers a bit more robustly to handle both HFM and Planning?
We are looking at 8 x 2.66 GHZ with 32 GB of memory for our Web Server, Other Services Server and Financial Management Server (essbase and RDBMS are sized fine for now), so I just wanted to get some input from the community before we make the recommendation to go ahead with that hardware.
Thanks!

Depending upon your Essbase/Planning Application you might need to increase the Ram. Remember you plan the architecture for 3 - 5 years in mind. Its a good practice to have variable like number of users increase per year, new applications, evolving data-set etc into consideration.
In one of the post, one of the expert suggested to have 2Gb per essbase application.

I would like to receive some hardware recommendations/advice

I am building a new computer, and I have to start from almost nothing due to bad or old hardware.
I am able to reuse the following:
2 SATA HDs (file storage drives)
2 IDE HDs (/ and /home -- although I'd rather switch to all SATA)
DVDRW
My case and power supply are decent brands/models, but the PS is noisy and the case has a few missing parts.
Here are the components that I am considering:
Antec 300 case
Corsair 520HX ps
Gigabyte GA-EP35C-DS3R motherboard (socket 775, 4xDDR2 slots - 8 GB, 2xDDR3
Intel E8400 processor
either the Zalman 9500 or OCZ Vendetta 2 heatsink/fan (Which thermal compound should I use?)
eVGA AKIMBO 8800 GT 512mb video card
either 2x1gb or 2x2gb ddr2-6400 ram (Which brand??? I'm looking at the OCZ model with the heatpipe and heatsinks)
(ideally) 2 SATA HDs for / and /home
2-3 120mm fans (two higher-CPM, low db for intake and one lower-CPM, low db for side exhaust)
I plan to run Arch 32 for the time being. It's not a big deal with Linux to make a backup of /etc and reinstall, so I will upgrade when Flash and Java are available as 64-bit binaries. Is it better to go with the 2x1gb or 2x2gb ram? I plan to use DDR3 in a couple years once that memory type is cheap enough. I realize that 32-bit OSes can only efficiently use ~3.5gb of ram, but I'd like to have as much as I can use -- especially when the price difference between 2gb and 4gb is very small.
I would wait for the Nehalem architecture to arrive and be around for six months, but I need a new computer now. I'm tired of dealing with constant freezes and crashes that are definitely due to a hardware problem. I also need this system to last a few years. I'll be really happy if I can get seven years out it like my old system (1999-2006). This new system was a free hand-me-down (for which I am grateful, of course), but it's dying...
I will use my system for the following:
Warsow, Nexuiz, Tremulous, Savage, Postal 2, Darwin....
Valve/id games
some other games through WINE/Cedega
small XMPP server (openfire)
3D modeling/rendering
image/video editing (nothing major like HD)
audio/video conversion/transcoding
VirtualBox for testing OSes and jailing WinXP for those two programs that aren't available for Linux
How does my hardware configuration sound? Is it happy with Linux? How are nVidia nForce motherboards? How well do they work with Linux? I'd prefer to not have to use binary blobs. I'm making one exception with the video card. I know that ATI drivers are getting better in that respect, but the 8800 GT kills everything else out there in terms of price, performance, and power usage.
Speaking of power usage, I want the system to be as efficient, cool, and quiet as possible. I don't plan to overclock, but I do know that the E8400 can easily to up to 4GHz on air.
I have heavily based the specifications on suggestions at mysuperpc.com (and its forums), so the system is mostly in the "sweet spot" of price vs performance.
Thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions/comments!

mrbug wrote:Antec 300 case
What's the Antec 300 case? You mean the Antec p183, which hasn't even come out yet? That would be nice to have... Or did I miss something?
mrbug wrote:either the Zalman 9500 or OCZ Vendetta 2 heatsink/fan (Which thermal compound should I use?)
Well the heatsink/fan you get depends on how quiet you want it to be. If you want it to be as quiet as possible, I would suggest Arctic Cooling Accerlero, then have a case fan blow the heat out. If noise isn't something you're worried about, Zalman is a great choice. For thermal compound, I use Arctic Silver 5. Other people may suggest something else. If you don't think having just a heatsink and a case fan to control airflow is enough, I would urge you to check out SilentPCReview (SPR), especially their forums.
mrbug wrote:Is it better to go with the 2x1gb or 2x2gb ram?
Well if you want 4 GB of RAM, you would do 2x2GB of RAM. If you want 2 GB you could have either 1x2GB of RAM or 2x1GB of RAM. It doesn't matter unless you're dual channeling. In that case, you want more sticks, each with less memory.
mrbug wrote:I'll be really happy if I can get seven years out it like my old system (1999-2006).
7 years without upgrades? That's asking for quite a lot. I think asking for more than 5 years without upgrades is a lot as it is. What I would really suggest is take it down a notch and upgrade certain components as time goes along. For example, one year you'll replace the graphics card, another year replace CPU, mobo and RAM, another year replace fans and heatsinks, another year replace the case. That way you don't need to splurge a bunch of money at one time building a whole new system, and your system will always be recent.
Anyway, sounds like more than anything, you should really check out SPR and maybe you want to have a sort of rolling update with your PC, which is what I do. The only time I'll be building a whole new PC from the ground up is when I need an additional machine.

Hardware Recommendation Needed for HRMS iRecruitment

We are deploying the HRMS iRecruitment module.
I am trying to spec out an external (dmz) web tier server.
Is anyone using the SunFire 1200?
I appreciate any hardware suggestions.
Thanks for your time.

That's right,
You definitely need to talk to the vendor, looks like their website is hosted on Windows Server with ASP and they just announced Microsoft Partnership

Streaming Hardware Recommendation

Hello,
I am trying to find out what hardware products will work to stream HD content from an HDMI camera source to my ustream/stickam/livestream account?
I plan on using a laptop as the main encoding station and live streaming straight to stickam/ustream/livestream via FMLE.
The camera can output either 720p or 1080i via HDMI.
I am considering the following products:
1. Matrox MXO2 Mini
2. Matrox MXO2 Mini Max
3. Blackmagic Design H.264 PRO Recorder
4. Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle USB 3.0
Thanks for you help.

Your powerbook and the g5 are probably the only useful things. Starting a streaming webcast company with only this, and no infrastructure, bandwidth, and redundancy does not seem feasible to me.
You can install DSS (darwin streaming server) on OS X and run the powermac g5 as a streaming server, pending the fact that it's in a location within close proximity to the viewers of the content, and that the pipe delivering the content is big enough (your home ADSL line which typically has a maximum upstream data rate of probably around 768k is going to be saturated with a single stream at 768kbps).
The issue here isn't really the technology or hardware it's bandwidth and infrastructure, re-evaluate what you are looking for and then re-consider the feasibility.
