Hi All,
We are looking to get onto DS 6.9 SP6 from SP5, but likely need to do off-box migration to new hardware. Below are the current specs. Would anyone be so kind to please provide a recommendation for new hardware? I didn't come across any good recent articles for hardware sizing. Any other architectural thoughts someone would like to share would be greatly appreciated! Regarding DS 7.X, anybody love it enough yet that would convince me to switch from 6.9?
Environment
8,500 endpoints (split 60%/30%/10% across sites within same city on fast WAN links)
30 active Deployment Consoles
Current Deployment Solution Server
Dell PowerEdge 2950
8 x E5430 @ 2.66GHz Proc (currently utilizing 1-10%)
8 GB RAM (currently at 6 GB available)
850 GB local disk for image and software data
Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 Enterprise
Current Database Server
HP ProLiant DL380 G5
2 x Proc (currently utilizing 5-50%)
20 GB RAM (eXpress DB is using 6% of SQL memory buffer pool)
275 GB local disk for database files

Thanks for your help!
