We are architecting a new backup environment, moving away from a 
competing product. Our plan has HP rp4440's as an HA pair for the 
master server, and RedHat EL3.0 on HP DL380's for media servers. We are 
expecting each media server to back up about 1TB per night via multiple 
gig-E to fiber-attached Clariion disk arrays. Based on the amount of 
data to back up, we're planning on eight media servers. The question 
is, can a single Media server handle that many media servers at that 
density?

We're projecting a catalog size of about 150-200GB when it's all 
converted.

Thanks for any input,
