Video editing is a killer

One MiniDV holds about 13GB
I agree media editing and storage does use space. But webservers and application servers?

Big forums use quite a bit of data. Not sure how big - what about ours even though it is still small


Databases - ours

Our biggest systems are only about 5-8GB and that is a fraction of the size of systems by our competitors and this is with one or two files over a million records

Most SANs allow you to split off a 3rd mirror if you need a 'snapshot' point in time backup, else standard file level type backups. NAS tends to be simpler, so file level only, same as local storage...

The server I was building was a fairly typical unix system for the stuff I do.  If you're familiar with Windows, that can now reach these sort of levels, though few applications scale up this well...

To be honest, I would not even bother with Windows on those sort of levels as the apps will not scale as you say.  With the SANs and NAS, I would still need a large (and fast) tape device to back up so I just set quotas for the users.
Certainly not where Windows' strength lies...  (currently)

 So I did a bit of maths and after a few guestimates, I reckon that robot could be loaded with 600TB of tapes at any one time. Thats 600TB native - hardware compression is usually 2:1, so 1.2PB.  What the hell do people need this amount of storage for  :-?


Just ask the people i look after.....they put a strain on the electricty board the amount of power they need to use. ;D
