How many clients do you NEED to backup? We run a p650 with: 8 1.45GHZ processors 16GB memory 6 3590-H drives 2.4TB external disk cache 4x146GB internal disks for 2 AIX instances 8x76GB internal disks for TSM DB and Logs 2 IBM 2109 32 port Fibre switches 14 fibre HBA's
We recently moved to this hardware and are backing up close to 500 application servers (Windoze, Unix, AIX, etc) and almost 2000 workstations (only the My Documents folder(s)). Our intent is to partition and separate the Application Servers from Workstations. I really want two physical servers in different locations so that they can backup each other. This is a step in that direction. The machine screams!!! John G. Talafous IS Technical Principal The Timken Company Global Software Support P.O. Box 6927 Data Management 1835 Dueber Ave. S.W.
