What's the media cost?
It seems to me that most midrange tape media are priced by capacity and
cost of the previous generation less a small discount rather than any
relation to the actual cost of production. Does this trend continue with
Ultrium?

As an IBM Business Partner we have been involved with LTO since early
1999. We have found it impressively reliable - LTO's roots are in
Magstar 3590.
Right now we have several proposals out for the 3583 Scalable Ultrium
Library. Other vendors are pitching DLT. Our customers are leaning
towards us due to LTO's impressive price/performance ratio.

We have a lot of DLT drives, but they fail a lot.
We have looked at an IBM 3494 with 3590e's, but they are expensive and
Sunguard in Philadelphia only has only 4 drives.
Additional IBM 3590 drives are about $850 per month to have on contract.
We are currently researching an LTO robot and drives from IBM. IBM calls
it an Anaconda or a Ultrium.
It is hardware that is a result of a consortium of Open Systems vendors.
It
is priced in the DLT range less than $10,000 per drive.
Anyone out there know anything good or bad.
Also, we are wondering how fast Sunguard will have this equipment. Based
on
it's price we feel it will be soon.
