We have a lot of DLT drives, but they fail a lot.
We have looked at an IBM 3494 with 3590e's, but they are expensive and Sunguard in
Philadelphia only has only 4 drives.
Additional IBM 3590 drives are about $850 per month to have on contract.
We are currently researching an LTO robot and drives from IBM. IBM calls it an
Anaconda or a Ultrium.
It is hardware that is a result of a consortium of Open Systems vendors. It is priced
in the DLT range less than $10,000 per drive.
Anyone out there know anything good or bad.
Also, we are wondering how fast Sunguard will have this equipment. Based on it's
price we feel it will be soon.
