NT PDC login/file server (primary site) and file server for Win 95
(secondary site)

Primary site: 2.0.3   Secondary: 1.9.19 (I think...)

Primary: Solaris 2.6, Sparcstation 20 2x50 MHz CPU, 128 Mb, 16 Gb RAID +
4 Gb internal, 100 Mbps connection to 10baseT switched network (3COM
Superstack 1000 and 3000). I'll try and get a rough idea of our peak
throughput.

Secondary: Solaris 2.6, Enterprise 450 128Mb, 18 Gb RAID + 4Gb in SPARC
10 (legacy machine :-) ). Again, 100 Mbps 10baseT switched with above
switches.

Primary: 180 in NIS+/smbpasswd, simultaneous ~40 or so on a busy day.

Secondary: ~700 in NIS+/YP emulation. up to 50 simultaneously, and that
frequently (3-4 hours a day, 5 days a week).

Primary: exclusively NT 4 SP 3, mostly 486, a few P-133s

Secondary: exclusively P-233 Win95/Linux (alternately bootable)


Keep up the great work. The mailing list is excellent as well. Signal to
noise ratio is so good, it makes my HiFi sound like a waterfall in
comparison :-) :-)

Cheers,

Gerald
