crashplan pro-e on a dell poweredge r520 - issues?

October 5, 2014 7:28 AM

Has anyone ever installed crashplan pro-e on a dell poweredge (r520 in this case) running windows server 2012 r2?

Hi all - Am planning on doing this for a small business to run as the crashplan backup server for about 600 people, wondering if anyone has seen any issues with a similar setup (crashplan, windows server, poweredge servers). Googling provided very limited information.
Thanks for any info based on your experience!

That you are asking this question they way you are asking it makes me wonder if you should be providing IT services to 600 people.

The model of the server isn't particularly important, what's important is how it is configured, and how that fits with Crashplan Pro-E server's capacity planning guidelines. It sounds like Crashplan wants you to consult with one of their system engineers to work though that exercise. Seems like a good idea to me.

Utterly unhelpful.
