OK a bit of a vendor response without wanting to be too blatant:

SPHiNX will emulate a 3584 tape library (up to four libraries with 32 tape
devices at one time) and has both internal and external storage
capabilities. You can hang unlimited storage on it with an external SAN and
35TB internal. It supports Fibre and SAS.

Because it emulates a 3584 tape library any of the IBM supported operating
environments already have IBM drivers for it (IBM i , AIX, and Z/OS) and
most of the Linux and Windows worlds have IBM supplied drivers as well, so
that means it can be used in almost any environment.

If you connect to the SPHiNX via Fibre then of course via the Fibre switch
it can connect to just about anything and multiple hosts can back up at one
time. SPHiNX has built in encryption and replication.

There is much more but I limited it to what might be interesting for an IBM
I shop. Obviously I would encourage you to contact me privately if you want
more information. Also there are other vendors that do much the same thing,
I've just found this one to be the simplest to set up and manage while still
being cost effective.

Larry Bolhuis (aka: Dr. Franken) uses SPHiNX as well and every COMMON Annual
Meeting has use SPHiNX for backup at the conference for several years.

Which one? Since I'm biased by my affiliation with ETI_SPNiNX I
obviously would suggest SPHiNX. Enough there.

Yeah... That's what I'm looking for !

Our PC side of the shop uses Avamar (from EMC???), but I'm having trouble
getting information about VTL support for an iSeries from those guys...

Does anyone use Avamar with the iSeries?????
