A lot of us have been having trouble using Linux as a media server,
especially in a drive-sharing environment.
 
Check the history on ths list for a lot of details.

Hi,

 

We run all our master and media servers on HP PA-RISC server and HP-UX as
OS. These servers cost a lot, not only to buy, but also in maintenance...

 

What do you guys think about going from the above to powerful INTEL server
with linux as OS instead in a datacenter environment? 

We have about 200 clients and (all full is about ~15TB, never at one time
though) to backup at one of our sites. 

 

Anyone using this type of solution in DC env`s? Recommendations?? 

 

Thankful for advice,

MVH / Hampus Lind
