Juan,

It's Stuart (Liddle is my last name)

Yes, we are satisfied with the equipment

No....not using compression (tape optimization) on the VTL, because we are
doing compression when we go to physical tape.  

I have not run any numbers on the performance, but overall just by looking
at the job throughput, it looks good.

We backup anywhere from 3 - 4 TB per day on a weekday right now and up to
16TB on Saturday or Sunday.

We will be growing this substantially as we are migrating all of our current
"legacy" environments to our new centralized system over the next several
months.  Total of about 70 - 80 TB per week.

We chose NetApp because the design team that was responsible for our new
environment decided that it was a good product AND because we have a lot of
NetApp equipment already.

Hi Liddle,

        Are you satisfied with this equipment?
        Are you using compression enabled? What performance are you
obtaining? 
        How many TB are you writing daily?
        Why do you choose Netapp?

        We are looking for a VTL solution, but in Brazil is very difficul to
find who are using this kind of product to know the feedback.

Thanks,

Juan
