We have a Scalar10k and I would recommend to go ahead with the i2000.

I would take a look at the new SDLT600 also.

When we were looking for a library last year, we looked at the following:

IBM 3584
ADIC Scalar i2000
STK L700E
SpectraLogic 64K (not LTO, but they do have one now)

In the end, we chose the ADIC because of its iPlatform. The only real
problem so far has been a firmware issue with the IBM LTO-2 drives. Since
that was upgraded, everything has been working quite well...

I am planning to replace our troublesome Quantum/ATL P3000
library with a new library.  I need your help!!!   :)

The existing library is currently dual-path fiber-attached
to our quad-proc HP server running Networker 7.1. This
server is Gigabit attached to the network, and has 1TB
of Networker ADV-FILE disk backup space.
We are providing backup services to 41 clients, a mix
of Linux and Win32 servers.

My requirements are:

        LTO2 or SDLT320
        At least 6 drive capable
        Fibre Channel Attached (duh!)
        Min 100 slots.

People have recommended IBM's 3584 library.

Any opinions?  Recommendations?  What's the current
"best of breed" in tape libraries?
