Re: RISC SERVER SPECIFICATIONS
It sounds like you must run a Windows based system. What server config are you running, how many clients and what kind of data transfer rates are you getting? We are thinking risc because of the stability and increased throughput over Windows and possible SAN in the next couple of years.

Re: RISC SERVER SPECIFICATIONS
What kind of network attachment infrastructure. BayNetworks 100 MB What do the clients have? Mostly 100 MB NICs at this time. How much data on the clients? Some clients may have between 50 to 100 GB of data, 4 or 5 servers and then most of the other servers are 10 GB or less. This may eventually involve an Imaging system that could have 100 to 200 GB of data and grow 25 to 50 GB or better a year. What is the backup windows?

Re: RISC SERVER SPECIFICATIONS
Kelly, I find this interesting. What version of TSM are they running? We have been fighting performance problems since out upgrade to 4.1.4.4, and we have what I consider a beefy machine. We are using an RS/6000 S7A, 4 processors, 8GB memory, 6 fastwrtie cache SSA adapters going to 3 drawers of 36GB SSA, 8 9840 tapes drives, 2 gigabit ethernet. The database is 30% of 139GB, so it is not near the 100GB you talk about. We are backing up about 500GB per night. What I am seeing is very poor performance on expiration and offsite reclamation. Any ideas would be appreciated - I thought it might be normal, until I saw that a Win2K server can handle that load.
