Well Sid, I can almost put a vote in for HPUX. The reason for the
"almost" is that we are running 7.2.2 on HPUX and it's great. One of
these days I'll upgrate to 7.4.1, but I'm trying to hold off for 7.4.2
;-)
We do about 6TB/day during the week and 8-9TB/day on the weekends. Our
backup window is from 1600 to 0430 and we haven't had any issues yet.
Also our storage node is a Redhat box with 7TB of disk and it works
flawlessly. So, I vote for a unix flavor over widows (we never could
get decent throughput with windows, but that was 5 years ago) and HPUX
does work pretty darn good.
