Can Informix and Oracle Co-exist on the the same box? If not is there a
write somewhere on why they can't co-exist? Need to justify buying
another server?

Informix and Oracle can coexist, only their salespeople cannot!

I have run IDS7 and Oracle7/8 on the same server. There ARE some
things to watch and tune for. While Informix aggressively use all of
the resources that it is given to use, and don't count on many cycles
on assigned CPUs or much swapped-out time for shared memory segments,
Oracle will gobble as many resources as it can grab. The upshot is
if you do not tune Informix with a mind to leaving resources free for
Oracle the big O will get few. Conversely if you do not limit the
O's greed it will starve out IDS over time.

Why not? Just be sure that your box is scalable and powerful enough to
handle them...

Yes, they can exist on the same box
