Hello all,

I have been tasked with looking at alternatives to TSM due to recent Audit from 
IBM and the amount of money we just shelled out for the TSM License.  I am sure 
most of you have pertaken to this wonderful experience.  I don't really want to 
move away from TSM, but have to provide alternatives to management.  Could 
anyone direct me to where I can begin my search.  I have only used TSM my 
entire time here.  What is the industry leader?  Any info or documents or links 
doing a comparison would be helpful.  Also, is the license structure the same 
for other environments as well or is IBM way out of line?  I am going to start 
with EMC's Avamar/Networker.

Thanks much,
Bryan
