Hi,
Hello,
I'll buy a gigabit switch and a few gigabit ethernet cards.
Free provide directly Giga Port to server. i don't think you need to buy
a new switch (but ask JM before for this).
It may be a good idea to have a SCSI machine for serving data
since the limit is rack space and power. Let me know what you think.
for "filer" server, SCSI is the best for 2 reasons :
- dedicated processor on SCSI card provide better performance on heavily
charged server (CPU don't have have to manage physical I/O on disks)
- on recent SCSI card, bus length can be 320 MB/s and SCSI drives can
use this bus in the same time (instead of IDE).
The bad thing is : SCSI disk is more expensive than IDE drives.
So if you have money and need good perf for your filer: buy a good SCSI
card (RAID card is better) and a lot of SCSI Drive (it is better to have
more drive with small capacity in RAID0 or RAID5, than only one big
drive. it is just a question of number of head that can write data on
drives in the same time.)
