I believe IBM make some of the following:
3583 - which is a horrible little unit, I've had it drop and mash tapes !!! 3494 and 3584 (TS3500 ???? , there's a new updated model of both of these I believe but I can never keep up with the model numbers, ) These can scale quite a bit but they do get quite long and it's hard to align the rails I believe. Similar issue to the SL8500 when it's fully extended. But appear to be quite robust and popular in the mainframe and sometimes the midrange space. _____ From: Sent: None Subject: Since Brocade merged with McData, the only real contenders for the Enterprise space are Brocade and Cisco. I believe QLogic has a "director" class unit, but I don't know how it stacks up....for market share, I would say it's negligable. For the Libraries, I'd think Quantum would likely be in the top 3 with STK, and one of IBM or HP. I haven't looked at IBM or HP's offerings for a while. Is IBM not reselling other manufacturer's libraries?
