When you say "losing TSM opps to de-dupe vendors," you must be talking

how someone buying a de-dupe VTL to go with TSM would be considered a
lost TSM opportunity.
Unlike a de-dupe VTL that can be used with TSM, de-dupe backup

1,4TB/day. And if they only know Windows I would choose Windows. But you
get an opportunity to sell more hours if you choose AIX..
Third, 6MB/s average
Paul,
Once the AIX box is set up correctly, it should require minimal
maintenance. That said, you may want to include a bi-weekly or monthly
"AIX OS Health check" in your proposal where your AIX expert logs in and
