We have been using an EMC DL700 for over a year with no service interruptions. We use it on a TSM server that is used by our critical servers as a means to improve the time for restorations. We plan to expand the capacity from the current 20TB to the maximum of 53TB and use it for all our server backups. We have compression enabled which is giving us almost double the raw capacity.

Anyone out there have any good or bad experiences with VTL solutions. I was thinking about budgeting for 1 or 2 in order to phase out the current san file system I am using for TSM disk storage. There are several vendors out there with VTL solutions most notably IBM and EMC. My first choice would be to choose IBM but it is a new product and EMC has been in the market longer. Any comment or recommendation appreciated.
