There is no OST functionality with NetApp.  NetApp wants you to buy more 
storage, and snap everything, to their storage.  There is no need for backup to 
them.

As for Falconstor, I've yet to see any customer with it.  And I see a lot of 
customers a week across many states.  

The customers that have Datadomain, love it.  Almost as fanatical as NetApp 
users.  DataDomain's new DD Bost software is intriguing, but why?  were they 
suffering against other players, that they had to offload processing?  

Quantum has one of the best implementations of OST, with their direct to tape 
feature.  But I'm not sure if their restore issues have been solved yet?

Exagrid as well has some positive remarks.  

I'm pretty sure, that you'll pay more by a lot for DataDomain, but will it be 
worth it?
