Does anyone currently use TSM to support multiple customers? I am looking into TSM for a new shared backup service infrastructure and would like to know if anyone is currently doing this and what type of an environment they have to support the what can be rapid growth in a Data Center.
I am most likely going to create a standard of backups and only do archives on a request basis. I do see some customers wanting HSM. I also see that I will need to support restores at any hour of the day. Some of my concerns are. 1. How can you limit the number of jobs that would fail because they can not get a session? In a scenario that I currently support for a customer I see this as a problem when you have hundreds of servers to support. 2. How many clients can a single server control effectively? 3. How do others in this scenario do billing back to customers? That is just where I am starting at, I am up for any input or thoughts.
