I have storage frames but can find the cost for them. But lately I have been getting D12 frames without drives and use them for storage. Just in case I need to add more drive capacity later. I don't have the option of taking the library down for a extend amount of time after its in production. The last two times I needed to add tape drives the library didn't need come down for them to be added.
This is for 4 drives gov't cost without customer discount. 3590-H1A ENTERPRISE TAPE DRIVE 4 174,000.00C 800.00C Mth 2924 U.S. ENGLISH 4 N/C 5861 61 M SC/SC FIBRE CABLE 8 2,584.00 9510 FIBRE CHANNEL ATTACH - PLANT 4 N/C 9600 ATTACH TO RS/6000, PSERIES 4 N/C 9670 PLANT INSTALL HXX FIBRE DRIVE 4 N/C _______________ ___________ Serial: N/A Total USD 176,584.00 USD -----Original Message----- From: Lisa Cabanas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2002 7:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ?? Cost on a storage frame on 3494 Howdy all, any one have a quick and dirty estimate of what a storage frame runs on a 3494 (retail, gov't)? My IBM contacts are out of the office today, and one of my bosses wants to talk storage planning today. I have prices for the L12 and D12. While I'm at it-- any of you guys with the new H drives-- what do they run (the FC ones?) thanks!! lisa
