	I know this is not in the spirit of this list, however, I am sure
those who have addressed this issue are participants in this list.  If you
have web resources, or FAQs please point me in this direction.
	I have seen a fair amount of threads on related to this topic on this
list, but none of them address the equipment that is being used for the
collection and analyzing of netflow data.
	We are looking to collect about Gig of netflow data/hour.
We are looking into how we can purge unneeded details, and keep just 
stats.  That said we will atleast want to keeps a weeks worth of data, and
backup old data to tape.  We most likely will us Solaris as the platform
of choice, but are open to others recommendations.  What memory and disk
storage setups are people using to collect and analyze data set of this
size?  Any recommendations are welcome.
	Please respond to me directly.

Thanks,
-Roy Hockett
