Yes, the 3583 is the same as an ADIC 100.
Dell also OEM"s the Adic 100 as a "Powervault" library.

I wonder if the 3583 is an OEM product like the 3582 (which is made
by ADIC).

The IBM 3584, on the other hand, is true blue.  We have one in
production for about two years and have yet to have any problems
besides media age.
