Scaling the Solution

In some environments, multiple archival storage units are required due to the rate or volume of data to be archived.

Symantec Enterprise Vault scales horizontally and the partitions of a Vault Store can be placed on different network

shares. Likewise, the Sun Fire X4500 Server Network Attached Archival Storage solution can also be scaled horizontally

by adding more servers.

It is a best practice to configure SAM to make a second copy of the archived data to an external device, such as a tape

library. However, in large-scale environments, it can become complex and cost-prohibitive to have each Sun Fire X4500

Server attached to a tape library. It might be simpler to consider a tape-less solution, using the NFS-based disk archives

supported with Storage Archive Manager. Configure a second tier of one or more Sun Fire X4500 Servers as NFS servers

to act as a SAM disk archives, as shown Figure 7.
