Hi, we are looking to upgrade our aging Netbackup environment, the current setup
2 x Sun SPARC T2000 master servers Clustered Using VCS.
2 x Media Serves T2000.
We are looking to move away from the SUN SPARC architect and move to Red Hat linux. i have now ben asked to size up the hardware for these,
we run around 3000 Jobs per day its a pretty heavily loaded system.
will something like a HP DL580 G7 4CPU/6CORE 1.86GHZ 64GB RAM system work? i read in a white paper somewhere that the master server is pretty CPU hungry, so wanted to know weather the above with a Lower Frequency better or would a DL380 G7 with higher frequency be better?
im trying to understand what is best, HP in our case is the preferred hardware.
Any feedback is welcome.
Cheers
