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.

Mark -----Original Message----- From: Mark Morrison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 2:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RISC SERVER SPECIFICATIONS I have been given a couple of days to come up with specifications for a RISC based server system to run TSM for a 100 + node network. The clients are NT/Win2K and NetWare. The system must talk to the StorageTek 9490 - Powder Horn. I figured that among all the TSMers out there that have working RISC based systems that someone would already have specifications that I could quickly modify for my environment and then bid out. I would also like to know advantages and disadvantages for the different flavors of Unix and vendors. Also since I work for a local government keeping the price low is a must. Any help is greatly appreciated.
