I would not recommend Linux for Netbackup environment ,simply because it cannot be restored on to dissimilar hardware in DR like scenario , there are other reasons as well . (I have a list ) ..
 On the cost , I don`t know about HP RISC but IBM`s P-series (RISC) hardware which runs AIX is cheaper than Intel hardware(surprised??) . I am working on  a business case to move oracle running on Intel/Linux off to  to AIX  ,So  comparing Pserise vs... Intel hardware  (price,performance ,DR , LVM ,etc..) I know  the pricing /quotes and other details about the hardware. send me an email offline if you need to know more about it  .
 
Our master and media is  running on IBM pserise servers P550 .

A lot of us have been having trouble using Linux as a media server, especially in a drive-sharing environment.
 
Check the history on ths list for a lot of details.

Hi,

 

We run all our master and media servers on HP PA-RISC server and HP-UX as OS. These servers cost a lot, not only to buy, but also in maintenance...

 

What do you guys think about going from the above to powerful INTEL server with linux as OS instead in a datacenter environment?

We have about 200 clients and (all full is about ~15TB, never at one time though) to backup at one of our sites.

 

Anyone using this type of solution in DC env`s? Recommendations??

 

Thankful for advice,
