Hardware Environment Preferences
Please complete for all sizing requests
This section describes your preferences for configuring the various production and non-production
environments.
Example 1: Some environments, like production and DR, have dedicated sets of hardware. Some nonproduction environments may run on the same physical set of hardware.
Example 2: Some customers have a QA or staging environment that runs on the same number of
servers as production, except without redundant or failover servers. They perform stress testing before
promoting updates into production.
Example 3: Some environments have only light loads, and therefore can run on the same set of
hardware and operating system. Application executables are located in separate directories.
Development, Training, Prototype and other environments fit into this category. Usually there is only a
skeleton number of servers. Data for the several environments can share storage. No performance
testing is done on this hardware. The advantage of configuring the environments like this is to reduce
the number of physical boxes, and therefore the cost.
Example 4 is similar to Example 3, with the addition of virtualization to separate the environments from
each other. Virtualized environments have separate operating systems and application executables, but
require dedicated database storage for each environment and additional storage for the guest system
boot disks. The only virtualization that Oracle supports is Oracle VM.

Please fill in the table below with information about your daily batch application(s).
Application:
The desired batch job to be completed. (e.g. “Payroll”)
Total “items” processed = The total amount of things to process, e.g. number of paychecks for Payroll, journal lines for General Ledger, or invoices for Accounts
Receivable etc.
# Items in largest group: If the total “items” processed is composed of separate groups within the batch job, e.g. multiple paygroups for Payroll or multiple
business units for General Ledger, how large is the largest group? We use this information to help make sure the largest subgroup can run on a single processor
