Dealing with PADs at home

• Easily 1~5 TB, what to do ?

  • All on disk ? 20 to 100 disks… and no VMS cluster...
  • Multi CPU Server+RAID ?
    • Small SUN ? Or Big PC ?
  • PC farm (our small Level 3?) ? LAN !
  • Tape stacker ? 1~2 TB only? A couple of drive ? So slow !
  • Taking shift at tape mounting ? 5 PCs, 10 drives, 50 tapes… but… will beat the robot ?
  • Power server at FCC ?

• Up to 500GB: all on disk. 2 ~ 3 PC’s working together.

  • LAN, LAN, LAN !

• Morale: the less you need it, the better it is.
