Do not read into anything about market share statistics.  Suffice to say,
the only two products that get any significant press now are TSM and Veritas
NetBackup.  They have market share in around the 20 percentile.  A large
number of Backup Exec licenses exist and are continually sold, but that is a
very small environment solution and is Windows Only.  So, you can see how it
can claim installation in lots of sites.  Every company probably has 1 copy
of Backup Exec.

The real story is, what are your business requirements.  Forget the claims.

However, there is one document recently published on TSM and NetBackup.  It
wasn't a slam dunk of TSM over NetBackup, but it was pretty close.
Essentially, the report recognized the industry leading design (10 years
old) that TSM has for large environments.  You simply cannot perform full
backups anymore.  TSM's progressive backup and media management philosophy
is the answer for the forseeable future.

Subject: Market Share of TSM vs Legato Networker


Hi TSM-ers,

is there a place where I can find information about the market share of TSM
and Legatos Networker in real busines environment (FORTUNE 500 etc.)? Tivoli
claims that 80% of the Fortune 500 companies use TSM.

Kind regards
