Well, that largely depends upon the database size. And when database tuning is
not sufficient, the last advice is to upgrade the machine.

Now that you have a big enough machine, you can start tuning it right away.

One thing I can think of is connection pooling. AFAIK, solaris is not known for
a fast fork. So if your database requires frequent connection, make sure that
database connection pooling is used. That should eliminate the fork timeing
problem..

What's the configuration of the E10k going to be?

+ How many CPU's ( and which Mhz+cache rating), how much memory, how
much disk?
+ How are you going to logically partition up the E10K, or is going to
be just One Big Box?
+ Which version of Solaris?

Only asking because this is the kind of Sun gear I used to do stuff on.
