Subject: [gislist] help with the database and server question.
Date:  03/09/2004 11:45:01 AM
From:  James Coss



hello all,

I have a query that I think some of you could really help me with. I
appreciate any time and thoughts you could afford me. I work at the
Lake Erie Research Center in Toledo Oh. I have been tasked with
gathering some information about data base and server combinations that
are being used successfully in fields similar to ours. We are an
environmental research center on the southern shore of Lake Erie we
gather and house a variety of information. We have in anticipation of
database and hosting needs purchased an HP server running Unix, and
Oracle 9i. The maintenance contracts for the 2 items are, well, pricey
to put in mildly. we are considering alternatives to both the server
and the database. But I have been tasked to test the waters and see
what others are using and eliciting any comments or ideas from users. I
have my own ideas about what would work out here. I say out here we are
some distance from main campus, and thus separate physically from the
IT department--which isn't necessarily a bad thing. There is an
on-your-own feel to the tech needs of this center. Any way any
thoughts, ideas or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much for your time. have a great week

JIM
