399.0. "Ref site needed, financial market" by BRILLO::BIRCH (Peter Birch, DTN 842-3297) Mon Aug 14 1989 11:00

    I hope I'm not misusing the notesfile to ask for a reference site,
    but here goes anyway.
    
    I'm looking for a site runninga machine of 6320 size, with a 200mb+
    database, running at least 30 heavily used terminals, completing
    around 10,000 xns per day, in the financial market, and better still,
    in the funds transfer area. We're competing against Oracle who have
    apparently convinced the customer that they can do it by benchmarking
    (even though we all know what Oracle's benchmarks are worth).
    
    Any help would be gratefully received.
    
    Cross posted in VIA_FORUM.
    
    Thanks in advance.
