We have some aging servers to replace. We're currently running on Alpha's with Tru64 unix. Is it possible to use the config below and what would we have to do from a licensing point of view.

The largest table is about 14 GB. Total table size is about 21 GB and total index size is about 6.5 GB.

We're using the x86_64 version of SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 9.

The hardware is either AMD Opterons, or the Intel Xeons that have the Opteron-compatible extensions. (I believe that all Xeons 3.2GHz or faster have these; our 3.6GHz ones definitely do.)

I'm reasonably confident the linux version of webinator will run on that platform. Download the free version (Linux 2.4l2.1 x86) to test for sure.

You'll need to contact sales to purchase an additional platform or switch platform for your license and get the latest version.

p.s.
You may need "compatibility libs" installed if they're not already. Or you could download libs from ftp://ftp.thunderstone.com/pub/linux/ . See the readme there.

We don't use webinator but to clarify, you are saying that texis and vortex will not have problems and the table/database sizes would not be a problem on this platform.

The sizes are not a problem. You can try webinator just to make sure that texis runs on your system then remove it.

I put webinator on one of these machines and ran ok. We're finally ordering machines but I just noticed that texis is installed 32 bit. Am I reading the version info correctly? What do I have to do to get it use a 64-bit file system.

The 64-32 in the version string indicates that it supports 64-bit file sizes and 32-bit memory size, so each process can only access 4GB of memory.
