I am trying to explain to my manager the benefits of purchasing GridStor. I have worked in an environment in the past that had it installed from the very start. Now I work in a 6.1 SP4 setup where it was not purchased.
We do a descent amount of data (roughly 100TB a month) and have seven media agents and plans to expand.
We are using a IBM TS3500 w/3592 tapes that hold ~1GB compressed. We are always out of tapes. Never are there scratch available without me manually pruning data.
Retention is 28/1 cycle.
What would you say in the biggest advantage to implementing GridStor? How would you explain to a lead that doesn't have a lot of history with Commvault, why spending a sizable amount of money is worth it and will ease our media pain point?
Thanks
