There are many VTLS on the market. And usually come at a steep price. Note you are actually purchasing disk at a premium prices with limited expandability. Adding cheap linux mediaservers with cheap raid disk is arguably a cheaper solution. jim -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

VTL are expensive, however the limits I would disagree. We have a Sepaton (70+ Tb of usable - note not RAW) and I believe the limits on the Sepaton is in Petabytes. Disk Staging is a nice concept, however with that you are placing a lot of the responsibility back on the admin.
