Actually, our VTL's are EDL's with embedded storage nodes.  We are happy 
overall with their performance and feature set, but since you mentioned it, it 
would be nice if they integrated with EBA, had a command-line interface that we 
could access (ssh to the units is not allowed to mere admins), and/or did 
de-dupe.  Of course, you probably needed to hold a few features back for future 
upgrades!   [Wink]
