Currently we are on 11.5.9 and we want to move to Oracle R12.1.3 (most probably Upgrade)


Size of Organization:
The client is small, based in US and around 20 users. 11 OUs, 1 Ledger. No Multicurrency, No Intercompany. The client has the Peoplesoft at Higher level. There are lot of interfaces from Oracle EBS 11.5.9 to other Subsystems. Client is only using Receivables and General Ledger. It is a small implementation.
Current Hardware:
Hardware: HP ProLiant DL380 G3 Dual Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz
OS: Red Hat Linux Advanced Server release 2.1AS
Memory: 4GB
Swap: 2GB
Total disk space: 400 GB
Current EBS Software:
1. Oracle EBS 11.5.9, however the Financials part of it is 11.5.10. Yes we have existing license and that do have Support.
What is the recommended hardware, software etc requirements certified for the latest stable version of R12.
2. What is the cost associated with the Oracle EBS R12.1.3 (Latest) version Oracle Upgrade Suite (Incase client wants to go for upgrade) or I think we can download it free if we have the current license and support.
3. What is the cost associated with the Full Oracle EBS R12.1.3 (Latest) version (Incase client wants to go for Re-Implementation)
Can I do some CRP sessions with vision instance on the above mentioned hardware? I don’t think so……..
4. Given the size of client, do you think we need to go with EXADATA. If due to the cost factors client do not want to go with the Exadata then what is the alternative configuration?
5. Licensing costs for this Oracle VM 3.0? It was launched yesterday. It is free. In what scenario the client has to buy the license? Need the cost for that too…
6. I need some roadmap and detailed information on how to upgrade? Should I use Oracle VM 3?
