Hello all,

As the storage landscape has changes over the years. I find myself
struggling to put together competitive acquisitions.

I'm simply talking about a library with 3592 type drives and maybe LTO
support for the Open Systems side.

There IBM.

Who else?

Remarks:
1. It's worth to distinguish tape drives and tape subsystems.
2. It's worth to distinguish entry tape drives / subsystems and enterprise drives /subsystems. Like in car industry the market for Toyota Corolla is much bigger than for Liebherr truck, despite the price per unit.

Answer:
Enterprise tape drives:
IBM, STK vel Sun vel Oracle - the only manufacturers of mainframe attachable drives (without additional appliances. Midrange: LTO. (S)DLT is a history, (S)AIT is history, VXA - I don't know. LTO means 3 vendors: IBM, HP, Quantum and maybe Tandberg.
Entry level: DAT. Mostly HP and SONY. (BTW: Nowadays it's 8mm tape!)

Travan, Ditto, QIC, SLR, MLR, Exabyte, Magstar MP, DTF are all history

Libraries:
IBM, STK, Quantum, Siemens (Centricstore).

Appliances, only mainframe related:
Luminex, Bustech, Interkom Gmbh.
