How to Effectively
Size Hardware for Your Portal Implementation (1337)
As with any Web portal, the server and database capacity needed to deploy a portal built
with Oracle Portal depends largely on the number of anticipated user requests for a given
page. Displaying a single page to a user may require many separate transactions, from
verifying whether the user has permission to view the page to loading the images that
appear on the page, to calling a style sheet that contains formatting information for the
page. This white paper explains the overall capacity-planning methodologies available for
Oracle Portal. It also explains the calculations used to obtain metrics for estimating and
sizing a portal. Access the Supporting
