Subject: [Veritas-bu] How Many Media Servers?

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,
