We are developing a system to archive historical data from our Informix databases. The objectives we are shooting for are: * On-line or Near-line access of historical data. * An initial capacity of 34GB with growth rates of 10GB per year. * 2-3 concurrent users accessing historical data. We are considering building one or more databases with a dbspace per platter [in cooked filesystems] in a multi-drive optical jukebox. If you have any comments, experiences or suggestions you could offer, please contact me. Our environment: * RS/6000's with Informix OnLine/I-Star 5.0x and 4.1x tools. -- Dave Newell _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ dbn@alert.com/(303)488-7781 _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ Mgr/Systems & Database Admin. _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ Alert Centre, Inc. _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/
