I posted about a virtual tape solution I plan to use on my laptop and in my lab to emulate enterprise library functionality, people may ask what I recommend for workgroup implementations where cost and reliability are factors.
I really like these Quantum products because they just work with most things I do, also there are features coming that I'm not sure if my NDA briefings let me talk about yet but I will ask the guys when I'm at Storage Networking World later this month if I can talk about it I'll get right into why I think these boxes will be gold. I might try to do some podcasts of some of the vendor sessions. Did I mention these boxes scale from 1 to 104TB and the base model can emulate 32 Drives.
What product is hot and I have spoken about at length to customers and my User Group?
The DPM 5500 yes that's right a Virtual Tape solution bought out by a Data Protection company that integrates Microsoft DPM 2006, the quantum lads have a cool picture which describes how it works at a glance.
I will go through a podcast of the detail I think I already have one but it is in an archive I don't have spinning just now If I can find it I'll make a new one so that's two lots of demos I need to do.
