Mark,
A few problems I see with this article:
1) They purchased the tape libraries based on 2:1 compression and the SATA
with zero compression. Virtual tape software will compress the data on disk
at the same rate as tape.
[...]
To be fair... AFAIK the compression is made by CPU. *Mainframe CPU*. What
resoucre is more expensive ?
I know some installation (few dozen Terabytes) of virtual tapes on disk. The most expensive DASD is used to waste the most expensive CPU cycles and store the least important (from the performance point of view) data.
Just my observation, I'm not biased to any vendor solution.
