We have an STK L700 for our NT environment.   Works well for us.   We
are using ACSLS to control the robot.  ACSLS cannot be run on Windows
which introduces a support issue.  However, its not been a problem for
us.

=20

At the moment we are not using SSO.   I'd rather not use ACSLS for robot
control, but we implemented based on SSO in our future.

My 2 cents

We are currently looking to add a tape library to our Veritas Netbackup
environment and would like some opinions on the 3 that we are currently
choosing between.

All would be LTO2 drives in a SAN environment.

=20

1. HP Akula

2. Storage Tek L700 - L700E

3. ADIC Scalar i2K =20

=20

Any and all comments on these libraries would be appreciated. ( i.e.
Works great or Hate one  because of problems, lack of vendor support
etc. )

=20

Thank you,

Mark Eisenhardt
