If you're looking at your first big library, now's the time to consider
another drive technology, and I'd go with AIT-2 in a heartbeat. DLT is
more expensive and significantly less reliable. Just thought I'd mention
that. However, the libraries below will accept both kinds of drives.
I'm partial to the ADIC Scalar 1000.

If you think that your storage needs are going to get even bigger, you can
get a scaled down version of this, with one tower and one robot. However,
"scaled down" means a price somewhere between $500,000 and $1M. However,
it scales all the way up to 60,000 cartridges, eight towers, two robots,
and 256 drives. Now THAT's a big jukebox.
