I am looking for a solution to backup virtual machines. This solution needs to be able to scale to at least 10,000 guests in the short term and up to 20% annual growth. Ideally this solution should provide both VM and file level recovery, with the file level recovery not being significantly different from what we have been sending to our operations group for years (open GUI, find file, click restore). We have both TSM and Avamar backup solutions in house, both have solutions in this space that we are looking at. I don't want to limit my search to these two products just because we happen to already have them for other reasons.
When looking for your solution in this space, what products did you look at and why did you choose TSM over the rest? When I Google search for VM backup solutions there are a lot of hits, but other than the IBM, EMC, Veritas, Commvault names the rest are unknown to me. Are there other serious contenders?
Thanks,
