Sorry, should clarify things. My concern is the bus and throughput. Do I need a PCI based sparc to support this kind of throughput, and what would be reccomended, or could an SBUS based system handle this (i.e. Sparc 2,5,20)?

Hey all, got another possiably off topic question...

In looking for new backup software, we are having to pay quite a premium for having two jukeboxes hanging off of different machines. I was wondering if anyone knows if a Sparc 20 can handle two DLT 8000 jukeboxes hanging off it doing backups, or if I'd need a better machine?

I know I should ask sun, but it's not easy to get an answer from them sometimes - I was wondering if anyone had had similar experiences or knowledge about this..
