Hello list, We currently have a very small TS7760 grid, one frame at our primary site replicating to a secondary frame at out alternate site. The alternate site is a TS7760T with an old single frame TS3584 with 5 3592-E08 drives hanging off the back of it. We just found out the 3584 is out of support and the 7760s are falling off the end of the year. We're looking at what our options are. Obviously the easiest choice for the 7760 replacements are 7770s. I know there are a couple competitors out there, EMC/Dell and maybe Luminex are options for the VTS. Any others?
More interesting to me right now is a replacement for the 3584. I know IBM has a TS4500 library but that seems like overkill for a site our size. Is there a "baby brother" to the 4500 or some other tape back end we could use? I'm obviously looking in the wrong place because I'm not seeing anything talking about hanging tape off the back end of the TS7770T.
