Over the next year or so, we are going to expand our network considerbly. We
will have 15+ floors with PDS twisted pair wiring. All floors will be cabable
of running true 10baseT ethernet. The floors will be connected with routers
and each floor will have multiple fileservers. In addition, there will be
multiple Pyramid MIServer superminis located in a centralized spot. We
presently use MDQS for printing and are looking for a 'better' solution. Does
anyone have any thought or ideas on this? We would like a system that provides
centralized queueing, allows for redundant queue servers and provides
centralized print/job control. It should also be able to run on a Sun and
Pyramid platform. All printers must be available from all systems. Printers
and terminals will be connected to ethernet via terminal servers. There will
also be some Sun SLCs. We know there are many ways to do this , but figured we
would ask around and see if anyone had already gone down this road before. Any
information would be appreciated. Thanks!
