Is there such a thing as a relatively inexpensive box (up to a few K$, say) that can hold a huge amount of ram, like 200-1000 GB? It doesn't have to be battery backed or anything like that, but it should have ECC or at least parity. The application is a high traffic database cache.

Hi, We are using ArcServe 11.0, win2003 Server Standard Edition. To do our backup with an autoloader we need to install the tape-library-option. Unfortunately our dealer can only sell us the tape-library-option Version 11.5 Does anyone know if ArcServe Tape-Library-Option R 11.5 is compatible

Hi, We are using ArcServe 11.0, win2003 Server Standard Edition. Is it possible to backup on multiple tapes with an autoloader (1 SDLT-Drive) and restore the data on another machine with a single Drive? Thanks Eberhard

While using the webtools interface on our IBM 2005-H15 (equivalent Silkworm 3850) SAN switch, the web pages seemed to lock up. Following this there was no network connectivity available to the switch. No webtools, no command line interface via telnet, and even no ping replys. The switch is still...

Our Compaq DLT7000 drive is dead and we need to purchase another drive. I can't seem to find any 7000 or 8000's that are new...all I've found are "refurbished" which I'm leary about. We have an archive of DLT IV tapes that we need to be able to read with the new drive...we'd also like to keep...

This is a NAS that comes with no hard drives. You add your own SATA drives. It has USB to support storage expansion to an externa USB hard drive. Does anyone know if it can be used with an external USB drive as the ONLY drive? I have a large IDE drive in a USB enclosure, so I'd rather not have...

A SATA drive (Western Digital 2500SD) from a 3Ware 9500S array went offline and was replaced by a hot-spare. I pulled the "bad" drive and put it in a machine with a basic Promise SATA controller and booted up Western Digital's diagnostic program to test the drive. The DLGDIAG program reported...

Hello all, We're running out of space on our current DLT1 and DLT4000 tape drives, so I'm going to be upgrading quite soon. Our current backup solution is as follows. Win2k DC #1 (the original lone server is a SQL server, file server, DHCP, DNS, etc) - using arcserve to backup to DLT1 Win2k DC...

Hello, hoping for someone to give me some help. I need an archive solution with the following criteria: 1. Large capacity (1 terabyte) 2. Portable (can be taking offsite for disaster recovery purposes) 3. Online - users will need to access the data Thanks

I'm looking to build a 2TB solution scalable to about 20TB. The needs are not numerous, and they are pretty well-defined: 1. RAID5 w/ hot-swappable drives 2. Support linux clients 3. On a budget Performance is not very important, but reliability and availability is. I need direction for my...

We're looking at replacing our ageing RedHat file server with a NAS device and the Adaptec Snap Server 510 has caught my eye. I've never used NAS before, so I was wondering if anyone out there is using one of these systems what is your opinion of it ? It'll be used by a team of 14 and it'll store...

what sort of options are there for a setup where systems write to a single CIFS hostname\share but it actually goes to two separate storage repositories? i don't want replication, but actual independent writes, and i'm wondering if there is some sort of hardware box that would handle that?

Hi everyone, Here's the deal: Although we're reasonably mature SAN users ( EMC storage, EMC (Brocade) Directors, IBM pSeries AIX servers ), attaching tape to our SAN is altogether new for us. In case you're not familiar, the 3592 uses native 4Gb fibre channel connectivity ( 2 ports - and hence...
