We're new to Bacula and are still considering if it's viable for us.

Our test environment is quite small (it is a test environment) and when I read 
the docs I'm not sure how recent they are when they relate to hardware specs.

For example if I were to suggest box with dual 8 core E5 CPUs, hardware PERC 
RAID card with 1GB cache, 48TB of 7.2k SATA in RAID6 and 32GB (or more) of RAM 
running as a SD would people be thinking "hmmm may need more horsepower" or 
would people be thinking "that should handle hundred/thousands of clients"?

Director could be on the same physical box but would ideally be a VM with a 
couple of CPU cores and as much RAM as is needed to handle a couple dozen 
clients, though the largest two clients are around 10TB and each have millions 
of files.

Impression I get is that network and disk will be a bottleneck way before RAM 
and CPU should be?
