Richard Dilligent's VTF open or Protectier solution is highly impressive and works seamlessly with TSM. I cant fault it at present! If you would like, I can put you in touch with an independent consultant who could advise you further?

The VTS internally also runs ADSM. If the tape volumes you want is not on cache, the VTS has to retrieve it from tape, place it on disk cache prior to sending it to the servers. This takes time. My VTS emulates IBM 3490E cartridge tapes. These tapes has a native capacity of 800MB or 2.4GB compress. This is not a lot of data these days. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dearman, Richard Sent: Wednesday, November 23, 2005 8:34 AM To: [email protected] Subject: VTS or san disk storage We currently use several TB of san based disk storage for our daily backups which gets migrated during the day to multiple tape libraries. The san disk administration has become a nightmare and I was thinking of replacing it with a VTS from IBM or other disk library such as one from EMC. Do you guys have experiences with disk library based systems and have any pro or con comments on them and whether or not you have had good or bad experiences with them. thanks **************************EMAIL DISCLAIMER*************************** This email and any files transmitted with it may be confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
