Hi Chris, I can give you my opinion only, and I'll tell you - I have a lot more experience with LTO than AIT3, and find LTO very good. Especially good capacity, and fast data transfer. Downside to LTO is perhaps cost of drives and tapes. (I don't know the cost of AIT drives/tapes.) As for ADIC Scalar 100, and IBM3583 - they're the same library, with different firmware, and different front panels. They are basically the very same library. Both libraries are, in my experience, very stable, and a good choice for a medium sized library, and very scalable. One thing to watch out for with TSM and these libs; If you're checking in/out tapes regularly to/from the library - buy the 12 slot I/O station version (you'll get tired of checking tapes out, one by one). There are a few things to be aware of with drivers etc. on the windows-platform, but nothing that can't be done in 30 min.
Well, that's my view on it - hope it helps. Rgds Geirr G.

Does anybody can give me some pros or cons for AIT3 versus LTO. Can anybody tell me something about his experience with EDIC Scala 100 and IBM 3583.
