The HP Storage Planning Calculator for Lotus Domino addresses one of the most important areas tied to the deployment of Domino servers in your IT infrastructure: Performance and capacity planning for your HP storage subsystems. As with previous versions of Lotus Domino, storage planning remains a key element in achieving application scalability. The sizing process is complex and may involve multiple storage groups and databases, growing mailbox sizes and shrinking backup windows.
This tool is designed to provide guidelines for disk, storage controller and enclosure planning for successful Lotus Domino deployments on HP systems. Based on a selected user (workload) profile, this tool calculates the number of hard drives, storage controllers, enclosures required to meet both transaction and capacity requirements for the total user population. The tool is designed to allow for a variety of scenarios and pricing levels; comparing RAID levels, hard drives (spindles) sizes, storage array controllers, enclosures, backup topology and tape drives.
