Based on our current practices and a large growth factor, IBM has
proposed to us an ADSM configuration using a 3494 library with 2000
slots and 4 3590-E drives.  This works out to 40tb of storate
(native).   The Qualstar 412360 works out to 18tb (native).  Any
recommendations for a bigger AIT library?  The only larger libraries
I'm aware of are the ADIC Scalar 1000 and the new (not even shipping
yet and no sftw support) Spectralogic 64k.

Thanks!
