Shane,
Wintel solution? Who mentioned a Wintel solution?
The software runs on Mainframe. The virtualization of SATA is handled by a
USP.
How much more robust can the HW and SW be?

So, I have to buy USP (I like USP, but like the *choice* more), then I have to buy some
SATA disks, preferrably from HDS, then pay license for "virtualization" (less
if HDS SATA is used), then buy VTF software, then consume CPU cycles for compression.
Well...
We did some analyzes for SATA as "ML1" disks. It seemed that it is simply to expensive, it is better to negotiate good price for "n-1" technology. Using ML1 disks instead of tapes is 1) too expensive, 2) not scalable enough.
It can be suitable for small amounts of data and high demands on availability and reliability. Such a disks are RAID protected and can be easily mirrored across the sites.
