I have storage frames but can find the cost for them.  But lately I have
been getting D12
frames without drives and use them for storage.  Just in case I need to add
more drive capacity
later.  I don't have the option of taking the library down for a extend
amount of time after
its in production.  The last two times I needed to add tape drives the
library didn't need
come down for them to be added.

This is for 4 drives gov't cost without customer discount.

Subject: ?? Cost on a storage frame on 3494


Howdy all,

any one have a quick and dirty estimate of what a storage frame runs on a
3494 (retail, gov't)?  My IBM contacts are out of the office today, and one
of my bosses wants to talk storage planning today.  I have prices for the
L12 and D12.

While I'm at it-- any of you guys with the new H drives-- what do they run
(the FC ones?)

thanks!!
