Also have a look at http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/products/storage/index.html
They provide a product, called CentricStor, wich emulates a tape library for
the backup software.

>
> Hi All
>
> I know the fact that Quantum DX100 disk array is treated as a
> "jukebox"
> by Legato. Quantum claims that there would be little configuration
> changes to NetWorker on deploying this. My questions are:
>
> 1. Is there any other disk array box that can be seen by a backup
> software as a tape library? Or is it "Quantum" unique?
>
> 2. Which one's a better option - letting NetWorker treat the box as a
> jukebox or forcing it to see the box as a disk partition and
> then using
> "file" device type to backup to it? The first option
> apparently does'nt
> require much changes to existing configuration. Whereas I reckon, we
> can save some cost by not buying the Autochanger Module of Legato
> because its seeing it as a large HDD chunk?
>
> Answers with any other added opinions are welcome. Thanks in advance.
