At work, we're looking at establishing a UNIX base by having about 8
workstations and a central file server. One of the options available is
to get several 3100s and hook them all up to a 5000 with a couple
gigabytes of disk space. My concern is whether the 5000, which is
labelled a workstation, is capable of handling the file service load of
8 workstations and still be usable itself. If it is capable of handling
such a load, how expandable is it (i.e. how much disk space can it
handle, how many stations can it serve, etc.)?
If anyone can give me any input on the matter, I'd appreciate it a
great deal.
