[Networker] Sizing a Linux x86 server for Networker
2006-06-01 19:25:00
I'm in the process of buying a Linux server for substitution of a Sun E450
(2 Ultrasparc 450Mhz, 2Gb RAM).
The actual server performs poorly mainly because of the slow performance of
de SBUS architecture and CPUs.
We will add 4 LTO3 drives (FChannel 4Gb) to 2 StorageTek L700 libraries. The
server will have 2 Gbit Nics with trunking to maximize throughput for LAN
backups.
Does anyone know if Networker uses threads under Linux? If so, it would be
beneficial to have multicore CPU's?
I found similar thread but nothing about similar scenarios. Sorry if this
has been covered.
Thanks in advance.
