CPU and memory is more a need of the Hardware. I would ask ATL what they
think is necissary to push 4 DLT8000 and Compaq what is needed to pull
through a GIG-E card. NBU will use only what is necissary to feed the
hardware. I don't know much about the Compaq lines, but you can push 4
DLT7000 with GIG-E on a Dual Xeon Processor NT box with a gig of RAM without
it even registering as a blip on the task manager.

I am starting to put up 3.4 Datacenter. I will be using a Quantum/ATL
P1000 with 4 DLT8000 drives. Currently the servers are on switched
100Mb but in a couple of months I will go to switched gigabit Ethernet
on the servers. I'll be talking to the drives using two separate
Fast/Wide/Differential SCSI cards.
I'm deciding what machine to install as the master server. The OS
will be Compaq Tru64 5.1. The server can be an Alpha 4100/533 with
two processors and 2GB of RAM. Or I can use an Alpha 2100A/275 with
four processors and 640MB of RAM. It would be more convenient to me to
use the 2100 since I could pretty much dedicate it to the task. The
4100 has other production purposes.
The 4100 is much faster as far as CPU goes but I imagine this type of
things isn't CPU bound.
What do you think?
