Hey, Does anyone use the Overland Storage Neo 4100 or 4200 LTO-1 tape library with TSM 5.1 server?
We are upgrading our tape library and our ADSM server (3.1 -> 5.1), and are trying to decide what library to get. We've been looking at the IBM 3583-L36 Tape Library, which uses 36 LTO-1 tapes, up to 7TB compressed capacity, with two LTO drives, which is gonna cost about 36K. But I recently found out about Overland storage which sells a product called NEO4100, with 3 LTO-1 drives, 60 tape slots, up to 12TB capacity compressed, which sells for about 30K. So it seems like for 6K less we can get almost twice the capacity, with an extra drive! That extra drive would totally kick butt. But if Overland hardware sucks and breaks and doesn't work well with TSM 5.1, then screw it. Any comments? Thanks in advance!
