Steve,

We have several libries, including an SL3000, a few SL8500s and i2000s, among others.
The SL3000 and i2000 have been rock solid. The SL3000 offers an additional longbot for redundancy, which is nice if you can afford it. The i2000 does not have this option.
Either way, I think you'll be happy. You might want to look into the physical dimensions of the SL3000 to see if you have room for the size you need.

[Veritas-bu] Tape Robot Comparison





Looking for info on comparisons between tape robot technology.  We've been using a Sun/Storagetek L700 for about seven years.  It's been running spectacularly.  We're getting ready to add a second robot and we're looking at a Sun/Storagetek SL3000 with eight LTO4 drives.  My CIO asked me if I had looked at competitive robots and I had to answer no, and now I'm being asked to do due diligence, but I'd prefer not contacting new resellers, as then my phone will be ringing nonstop......
 
I'd be happy to solicit opinions from the mailing group though........
 
Links to any info on this topic would also be appreciated, as cursory google's didn't yield much.
 
Thanks,
      Steve_______________________________________________
