More disk space (like mentioned in the blog) and also more RAM, like 4-8 GB per instance.<br />- installing, configuring and using the "comes-for-free" reporting and monitoring feature is an adventure of its own. Besides the HW resources needed it's very time consuming.<br /><br />Over all: this is not the old well-known "download the code, install, run upgrade db and get happily back in business" thing we are used to.<br /><br />Regards,<br />MichaelAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14516215414064943948noreply@blogger.com
