Media server hardware requirements

[bordio27]

Hello,

I have to to set up a new Windows 2012 physical media server with NB 8.1.2 and I need the minimum and recommended requirements (CPU, RAM, etc...)

I have read the installation guide, and it sends me to the SORT site, but I don't understand how to retrieve the informations that I need

Can someone help me please?

Thank you,

What backup devices will be added to the media server?
Tape? How many drives?
Dedupe disk? What size?

See this planning guide, and add a bit more RAM for modern OS and and latest versions of NetBackup, eveything else pretty much still stands:

Review the guide @sdo linked above - you really need to calculate how much data you plan to send through and how many destinations. Also - pay attention to how data flows - hba and network interfaces have a major impact as well.

Remember - you can have GOOD, FAST or CHEAP - pick TWO!

Why Windows 2012?

That's going to End of Live in a couple short years.

Why not Windows 2016?
