Ben,
I would recommend the IBM 358x tape libraries (either the 3583 or the
3584). I have had great success with them and you would still be
staying with your current vendor.

Subject: TSM licenses needed....?
Up till now, we have only bought IBM 3494 tape libraries for our
TSM
environment. Well, we are looking at putting in a smaller installation
at a
remote site and are considering purchasing an HP SureStor 2/20 or an IBM
Ultrium L18.
First of all, any comments on which would be the better
purchase? I
lean towards the IBM library just because we've had such great success
with
the 3494 library and the 3590 tape drives.
Second, when we purchase our 3494s, we need to purchase the
"Extended device support" & the "Managed Library license" to use them.
We
are getting conflicting bids in the host country as to whether we need
to
purchase those licenses for these libraries. Do I need one, both or
neither
of these to use this smaller library?
Thanks,
Ben
