Hi all
We currently have an R200 that holds around 2 TB's of
data. We have been backing this up using Cifs shares with Veritas backup exec, needles
to say this has been a very painful and slow process. We are now looking into
the idea of building a fiber SAN. Our Backup tape device is a Scalar 24 the
drive is an IBM ULTRIUM-TD2, the server that will be running netback up is a
windows 2003 server, and this along with the R200 will be plugged into the
Fiber SAN. What I would like some advice on here is what type of fiber switch would
you all recommend? I was looking at the 3200 also any recommendations on fiber
nic cards for my 2003 box? http://www.brocade.com/products/silkworm/silkworm_3200/sw_3200.jsp
Thanks for any comments on this
