Hi, I'd like to spec out two Sun boxes, one for use as a replacement for our primary server and the other to replace our current storage node server. We're running 6.1.1 on both servers. Kinda old, I
Please clarify why you are running a storage node. There might be an opportunity for you to combine your NetWorker server and storage node into a single Sun system, but it depends on details you did

If you have enough time to browse on Sun's website you might be able to find and price out a server suitable for your requirements. One good practice of ours also is to get specs and quotes from our

Our network is a standard switched 100 mbit ethernet for most hosts and gigabit ethernet for a few of the heavy hitters. The backups run across the same wires as all the rest of the network traffic.

George, I guess that those are "PCI" slots... One of my servers is a 480 (w/ 2 900 MHz CPU's). Gives me zero problems. I use it to drive 6 DLT7000's (with each on its own SCSI bus). It has two integr

We have an L700 (690 slot) with 8 x DLT-7000 drives here. It's being driven by a single Sun E-450: 4 x 480 Mhz CPU, 4 Gig Mem, five PCI SCSI cards (one tape drive on _each_ bus, plus one bus for the

Just to add do get a Sun server with the ultraIII sparc pref 900MHz your gigabit transfer will be limited by the processor speed below this and the Networker server performance seems to be dependant

Hi, I would recommend to go for a V880 ... and put all 3 libraries on it. The V880 should cope with the throughput. Greg ** DISCLAIMER ** "This e-mail and any attachment thereto may contain informati

Hi, If you're going to stay with your current Master Server / Storage Node configuration, I agree 100% that a v480 with 2 CPUs @ 900 MHz would be an excellent choice, with room to grow should your ne
