This would be a single master/media server
in a SAN environment. I’m backing up 7TB to a NetApp VTL 700 and then
vaulting backups to 4 LTO-3 tape drives. I want to be able to push the LTO
drives to their full capacity, and then looking ahead at LTO-4.

UltraSPARC versus x64?
Hi Neil
It depends what u wanna do on it, Master or Media Server or both on one,
and also if you plan it on Linux, SolarisX86 or Windows. In general I don't
recommend
a VxNBU installation on Windows in large environments, especially in SAN
environments.
A Master Server (not as a Media server) uses CPU Power and Memory, while a pure
Media Server needs
a fast internal throughput and depending on how much devices are configured, it
also needs enough CPU power and memory,
especially if you wanna use a lot MPX.
But in any case, if you got the chance do some benchmark tests on the boxes.
Cheers
Flave

Does anyone
have a sense of how UltraSPARC systems would compare with AMD x64 systems
running Netbackup 6.5 on a single master/media server?
For example,
Iʼd be very interested in seeing how something like a 4-core T2000 would stand
up against an X4200 with a 2 dual-core opterons.
