Building a new network. What have i missed off the price up.

[GlennT]

Just a thought.

We have 10d running on our current curric DC, and Veritas 10d on our admin DC.

 

Out of all the servers listed, the only ones that would need backing up really would be the Sim SQL and the file server one. Correct?

 

So, how many licences/what type am i likely to need.

 

 

All i need to do now to finalise my costing for sumittal is the backup software costs, UPS advice/costs and KVM advice/costs.

 

Thanks in advance all.

 

Make sure you get the SQL agents for Backup Exec.

I use a number of KVM units at work and the HP ones are by FAR the best.

 

I've only used them with HP servers ( 380, 385s and 580s ) but they're very near products. By far the best designed.

 

The ones I have come with a KVM dongle that you place on the back of each server, this turns the connection into a CAT5 cable and runs into the KVM unit, which can be placed on the back of the pull out monitor / keyboard / mouse. The whole thing only takes up 1U of space and it's a pretty sturdy bit of kit.

 

We have a number of Rittal ones at work, I can tell you now, unless they've changed in the last ~2 years when I got them, DO NOT BUY THESE. Nothing but trouble!!!

 

If you're using HP servers you could always consider using iLO though. We have started to adopt that now.

Chekay though HP are, i see the 8 port jobbo and think "cool, £400 for a 8 port KVM with IP". They neglect to specify that you need a further grands worth of accessories for it to actually work! lol..

Are you getting remote management cards in the servers it gives you the option to power cycle remotely.
