Right now I have a Sun box that has been running Cyrus for about 4
years. The box has 8 Sparc v9 @ 400MHz and 6GB of memory. About 2
years ago we put all of the mail queue, DB, seen and sub files onto a
2GB solid state drive. This setup has been running fine, supporting
about 20K webmail users. The mail store is on a NetApp that has a
1TB LUN direct FC connection.
8-way machine, 6 GB of RAM, database on solid-state drive and mail
spool on an FC array ... I don't know all the specific, but that seem
like pretty good hardware to me. Is there a particuliar reason why
you want to move off your Sun box ? Do you have specific performance
problems ?
The Sun configuration has never broken, though I am nearly always
running at peak IO. I highly suspect that this is due to the S-Bus on
the Sun box. The main reason to switch is the end of life status of the
Sun box. I don't have any spare parts to speak of. If it dies I'm in
serious trouble. The powers that be are not open to the idea of buying
spares via eBay.
