We are looking for a mainstream file/application server which can drive
about 5 GB, almost all of which will be actively NFS mounted from other
machines, and support applications for about 8 X users.

We have just started our search for a suitable machine and have quickly
come across the SPARCserver 4/330. However, I find it difficult to tell if
its capabilities, which don't seem to be far beyond that of the 4/65, can
handle our needs.

Does anyone have negative experience with this server which demonstrates
that it is underpowered?

Thanks very much in advance.
