There are a lot of "it depends" here.
It depends on how many jobs you're scheduling and how frequently. It
depends on whether you're a media server as well as a master server. It depends
on whether you're doing de-dupe. It depends on how many restores you're
doing and how big those restores are.
Since you have a pair of master servers now, you're in good shape to know
what your expected load should look like. Take the requirements for both
servers, add them up, figure out how much you're currently behind the curve, and
add your expected growth.
You can pick up a nice DL580 G7 - the "performance" model comes
pre-configured with 4 8-core processors and 64GB of RAM. We're getting one
with Linux to replace our aging Solaris-based server but there's no reason you
couldn't run Windows on it.
