Here is the way I look at it:
There are many customers that have moved from the HP3000 to a 9000 over the
years ... but very few because of the Nov 14, 2001 announcement ... it is an 18
to 24 month process for the typical shop.

In the matter of performance it depends ... is the application moving or being
replaced? If it is being replaced by off the shelf software (COTS) then there
may be performance characteristics available from the vendor. If you are moving
it there are greatly differing performance footprints depending on the number
of connections and the workload including OLTP,  and batchjobs, and the
database chosen. You must clearly understand the workload and the pieces that
make it up BEFORE anyone can give an estimate or model it.

HP has a benchmark center as part of the migration center which may help with
estimates.
