Re:New servers at work, finally!
 

I use Backup Exec (7.5-8.6)on my old servers now and I'm ordering 9.1 today to use with the new Ultrium. Disk to Disk to Tape is definately the way to go and is how I'll be implimenting our new setup.

I have more old servers, but that's the main bunch of them.

The new ones are HP/Compaq Proliant DL380's and each one has a 2.4ghz XEON processor, a gig of ram and 2 18.2 gig SCSI primary drives. Then the SAN has 250 Gig of space that I can allocate to whetever I want. The new tape backup is an HP Storageworks 460. The pullout LCD KB combo is connected to a KVM that lets me switch between all the servers.

So, I replaced 15 servers, 4 monitors/kb's/mice with 6 servers and 1 lcd monitor with built-in kb and mouse ;)

They're a good bang for the buck server and Insight Manager makes monitoring the servers a breeze.

I think we got everything: 6 servers, san w/7 72.8 gig u320 SCSI Hot swap Drives, storageworks 460, lcd kvm and rack for around $30K. Not a bad price considering the other quotes we got for the exact same thing were from $40-90K. Our IT Manager has a long standing relationship with this vendor, so we got a good deal.
