Hi Matt, I have already a SL500 at that site, but it is for their backup needs. And the Sun sales offered me another SL500 unit as well. But, we are thinking to spend much less. I guess, I would have to look at all options and see which one would work best for us.
thank you

Why not go with the SL500 but with the
Base+Drive modules only? That would give you the base module with 2 drives and
cartridge slots and a Drive Expansion Module with up to 4 more drives (you'd
only use 2) and the cartridge slots in that module. That way you have a path
for future expansion as well if you need to add more cartridge expansion
modules down the road.
Hi Folks,
I am working on a DR solution for my company. I use StorageTek SL500 and L180
with LTO3 fiber attached. Netbackup is tuned with 256K data buffers. Now, I
need a smaller tape unit at my active DR site to support reading LTO3 tape
media from the primary sites. I looked at SL48, it looks like I can go just
with 2xLTO3 full height drives in it to get the same fiber speed. I used a StorageTek
L20 in the past with Ultra 160 SCSI LVD and I could not read tapes written with
256k data buffers. And based on the sizing for the business applications in the
DR, I would need 4 tape drives at least. I would appricaite, if anybody would
give their recommendations.
Thank you,
Boris
