I was originally in the "let's get VTL" camp. Lately, I've been leaning
against VTL and think that VTL is a temporary solution that doesn't have
long-term viability. A lot of people wanted virtual tapes because they
couldn't stream to tape drives fast enough or because they wanted to use
their drives around the clock. Disk-based staging units alleviated that
problem, and it's free. We use it a lot.
I expect we'll be doing some disk storage units eventually, mostly
offsite, but I don't expect to see us seriously investigating VTL
technologies.
