We haven't purchased any hardware yet for TSM, as management wants to be
sure we pick the right combination.  I am leaning towards TSM server
running on Win2000 because of our current in-house expertise.

We are excited about the capabilities of TSM combined with an estimated
$100k savings over the next year in hardware replacement costs alone.

Have you considered that perhaps the reason you have more inhouse Win2k
expertise is because Win2k requires more support expertise?

Don't forget to factor in the Win2k support costs, and be sure to get
actuals from other users, not just published whitepapers.

A word to the wise...

AIX is a scalable, reliable workhorse, and is the native platform for
TSM. These are not things that should not be overlooked, IMHO.
