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.
