IBM 3584 Tape Library

[thepallace]

I am in the process of upgrading our AIT3 Library and looking to purchase an IBM 3584 (LTO3 drives). I will be using Brocade Silkworm Switch to connect the tape drives. Any feedback, review, pros/cons, problems/issues on operations perspective. Netbackup Veritas Verions is 5.1.

Thanks in Advance,
JAQ

We use IBM 3584's with LTO2. With McData switches.

Depending on how big your env is I would get ALMS....

You would have a good upgrade path with the 3584...
