Rick--

I wanted to explore it, so as to leverage our Enterprise TSM investment.  
However, it is pricey and if you don't have your disks on SAN, you won't get 
the through-put.  We currently use a little SpectraLogic library with two 
Ultrium drives.  And, FWIW, the Teradata technical folks weren't very keen on 
TSM.  They basically said-- we will only support the ARCMain component, TSM 
doesn't seem to work as well as NetVault....

See if they will let you do a POC before you buy!
