an STK/Silo that I ran 5 Years Ago had VM, MVS, Honeywell, and Unisys all accessing tapes in the Silo's the difficulty was the tape drives and keeping only one system connected at a time. We dedicated drives to each system, but things have probably changed since than.

IBM has put together a VTS/ATL solution, STK's first proposal was a VSM/SILO which was vastly more expensive then the VTS/ATL. STK is now putting together a VSM/9740 proposal. Has anyone had any experiences with the VSM/9740 and if so will it perform up to the VTS/ATL. Thanks Ps. We'd also like to use the virtual/library for backing up our Unisys, UNIX and NT environments.
