Very important - planning for processor power should not be overlooked when
implementing a high powered NBU environment.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] How important is Processing Power?


I'm speccing servers etc and management ever wanting so pinch a penny wants
to know how important dual processors are.  Not only is there the added
server expense, but both Windows and NBU licenses for multiple processors
are more expensive.  We're looking at Intel Dual Core Xeon 5060s w/ 2x2MB
Cache, 3.2Ghz, 1066Mhz FSB on a Dell Power Edge 2950 w/ 4GB RAM.  I
originally spec'd two processors (two dual cores) which I'm certain will be
quite powerful enough to drive 4 Gigabit nics to disk over fiber.  But how
important is it, and can 1 do the job?  Anyone running anything similar?

-Jonathan
