- Hi,
-
-
- I am new to the Andrew system and am actually looking for a system to
- replace our mail system and maybe some other database services.
-
- We are a site with roughly 600 workstations (AIX 3.2, i486 SVR4 on NCR and
- a bunch of Sparc and sun386i). We have AFS installed for the AIX machines
- and the rest use NFS. In addition, we have ~200 PCs using PC-NFS and Novell.
-
- Mail is heavily based on an Ultrix server which speaks smtp (sendmail) and
- DECnet. It houses also a central /usr/spool/mail which is mounted by
- all clients using NFS.
-
- I am looking for a system which will not have a single point of failure,
- and maybe supplies some other goodies.
-
-
- Can anyone share their experience with moving to Andrew (if applicable) ,
- and how does it fit with the above site description.
-
- Please reply by mail.
-
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
