New Re: Machine and types of Equipment
Holy shit.

Hmm, rough guess, hhmmmm.

$400K in equipment.

Where's the disk?
New Re: Machine and types of Equipment
The disk is in an IBM ESS. Multiple fiber SCSI Paths using vpaths.

$93K for the contoller cabinet with 2 Drives, Media and SCSI Cables for them.
$82K for another storage cabinet with 2 Drives, Media and SCSI Cables for them.
The SCSI adapters came with the drives.

Had to have a second backplane for the S7A anyway, so we put 4 SCSI in one backplane and 4 in the other. Put 2 Fiber SCSI cards in each backplane also to connect the ESS.

TSM upgrade from ADSM... Dunno.

ESS with 540GB of disk, $330K with straight UWSCSI connections
ESS upgrade to Fiber SCSI connect when they finally became real $55K includes adapters
ESS SSA Disk upgrade for another 1080GB $85K

The S7A is actually a big box to have the stuff running on... but it was available and it has never had to breathe real hard.

But, we can't count all this money for just the backup solution. Sure some of it can but not all of it.
