At my work we write apps that are only used inhouse and app that are used by 1000+ users. Our applications are mostly data entry apps with a decent amount of reporting. We only use stored procedures in the software that we sell to our users because it makes it easier to implement any updates/fixes in code than it's in a stored procedure and just send them a program(executable) update. For inhouse we prefer stored procedures because maintenance/updatability is not a problem.
I think if you are looking at large databases where stored procedures may make a huge difference weigh your options between speed and ease of sending updates to the users.
Let me start with saying that I dont nearly have 1TB/Month but have the need to have over 2TB of data online because of different client's (OLD)Databases that need to be online for reporting.
After looking around for a couple of months I bought myself a 12 Drive SATA hotswappable case from from Rackmountpro.com and bought 12 250GB SATA drives and a 3ware card. It works like a charm. Speed is great and I think the price of the 250GB drives are right (WD2500JD $165/Piece).
For the longest time I was looking for a CD/DVD sort of Jukebox where I could have like 200-400CDs (Real CDs/DVDs, not ISOs) but I had no luck finding anything. Even if I had some kinda program telling the jukebox to change the CD/DVD would be great, but googled it for a while and came back empty.
I am still looking for a jukebox solution for archivals puposes if anybody has any idea where I can get/make this.
I can tell you that I have used Vonage over the Optimun Online cable service and I was happy with it. My only problem (which is why I eventually canceled my service) was with my ISP, I would be in the middle of a phone call and the call would drop for no reason. I loved the quality of the service, easy to install and the price was right. Once Verizon (My local provider) came out with a flat rate phone service $49/month for unlimited local and long distance (within the US) I switched to them since a regular phone line in my opinion was more reliable than the VoIP solution.
Another thing to consider is the fact that if you wife is going to be doing heavy downloading while talking on the VoIP network it will affect your sound quality as well, or at least that was my experience with it. Of course, I was getting speeds of 500+Kb/s on multiple downloads. But I didnt feel like cancelling the downloads when receiving a phone call or when I wanted to make one..
Hope this helps you in your decission.
I think at this rate you will just be able to go to SCO's website www.sco.com/ and see what laysuit they are either bringing against it or thinking about bringing.
