Maximum Server Configuration - Compaq ProLiant 8000 White Paper

Enterprise Backup Solution for VERITAS Backup Exec™

Maximum Server Configuration

The current EBS for VERITAS Backup Exec™ supports a maximum of 20 servers in a cascaded
12 port hub environment as shown in Figure 3. If shorter backup windows are needed, additional
DLT drives can be added. For every server that is eliminated, up to four drives can be added with
the FCTC-II to increase the aggregate throughput of the EBS. See the "Sizer Utility" section to
determine performance of the EBS.
