Hi Romeo, we run a total of four directors for about 200 clients, but this is due to the fact we host servers in separate locations so it makes sense to back them up locally. The largest installation has about 120 clients and runs just fine, backing up about 1 TB daily and around 6TB over the weekend over gigabit links to HP MSA boxes connected to the director /sd which sustain around 120MB/sec write speed on average (using client side compression, both gzip and lzo where necessary). You seem to expect a rather large daily backup volume though so I guess if anything you might be bandwith- rather than cpu bound. What kind of network connectivity will you be using, that throughput can be achieved on the backup disks and so on? These are all important factors in designing your infrastructure.
