Hardware

The customer is Bimbo Bakeries, USA.
Requirements : Hardware refresh of 2 UNIX servers, Each server listed hosts its own application, which is either OES (Oracle Enterprise)and SAP. They do not need any application upgrades, they just need new hardware, and a plan for migrating the applications and data to the new servers. The server capacity must be sufficient for a 4-year hardware refresh cycle.

When I asked " What is the main purpose of these two systems in this architecture.", they answered " OES is a proprietary Order Entry System, SAP is an Enterprise Resource Planning system (ERP), it is only being used to store and access older ERP data. The amount of disk storage used on server for SAP data is 170 Gigabytes of raw disk. The informix database does not used cooked filesystems.
They are IBM RS/6000 systems that have 2 processors in one system and 4 in the second system. The processors are likely 450MHz.

One of my friend suggested a pair of M4000 servers each with 2 processors and 16GB of Memory each.
But at this moment M4000 is not recognized by the EDS standards and yet to be tested.

What about SunFire V445 or T2000 or Sun Fire[tm] V490, RoHS:YL .

Please let me know whether these systems are not near to M4000 or not valid upto next 4 years (EOL).

Please guide me.

Thanks
