Hi;

Currently have a NetBackup 6.5.6 environment that we will be doing a complete hardware refresh for and upgrading to 7.5.  The NetBackup Master and Media servers are currently running on Sun/Oracle SPARC hardware...T5120's.  We are looking to get off Sun/Oracle and move to HP Proliant servers.  Can somebody recommend what model and specs we should be looking at for an environment that currently has approximately 524-600 clients, 1247 policies and approximately 4000 daily jobs.  The total daily volume is 13-15TB and the DB volume is approximately 3.5-4TB.  We are also looking at one full server backup per week rulled to tape weekly and one DB full per day...rolled to tape weekly.  Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

All of current ProLiant servers will faster than it. Regarding extensions and redundancy, it is better to choice DL380 or higher.

You should purchase 4-core and 8GB-RAM server at least. If you plan to use master server as media server, you should count additional cores and RAMs. http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC4483
