Here is our equipment:

P5-570 - (4) 1.6GHZ procs, 8GB memory, (3) D20 I/O drawers - AIX 5.2
TSM 5.3.4.2 - 65 GB database, mix of LVD and FC disk.
3494 library with mixed 3590 E1A HVD and 3592 E05 4Gb fibre
10Gb Network, several dual 4Gb HBA's (among others).  All the FC
infrastructure is connected via Brocade 4Gb 16/32 port switches.
SAN disk is a mix of HP EVA 8K, Nexsan, and soon, Sun/STK arrays.

On the 3592's we get about 110GB/hr while streaming images of SAN attached
disks directly to them.  We say, not bad.

Our next step is to replace network cards on the streaming backup servers, so
that jumbo frames are supported.  We might be able to eek out a little more
bandwidth.

Eventually, my plan is to move off of the 3590's (budget constraints now),
and fill the library with the 3592s.
