[comp.sys.sun] server configuration

thompson@src.honeywell.com (Todd Thompson) (10/08/90)

I would like to ask two questions:

1) I am purchasing 10 IPCs with 24MB RAM and 200 MB internal HD and 5 SLCs
with 16 MB RAM and no disk.  The development is expected to be both Lisp
and Ada.  I am currently thinking a 4/330 will handle the load.  Comments?

2) For the disks on the server, I was originally thinking of 8" SMD
drives.  The distributer is pushing 5 1/4" SCSI.  The SCSI is relatively
close in performance (SCSI access= 24.8MS transfer=2.85MB/s; SMD access =
20.3MS transfer=3MB/s).  Anyone using SCSI satisfactorily?

Thanks
