RE: High Availability Opinions

Bob,
I 'd love to hear about your experiences and the offline responses you get
here.  I've got a customer looking at Vision Solutions with our imaging and
cold products.  Are biggest concern is with how they handle mirroring the
optical platters.  We might even have to write some code to augment their
solution.

        Greetings all,
        We are currently examining high availability packages for an optical
        imaging/workflow application. System is an S/20-2165 with 250G
storage
        online, and a 100 platter Cygnet Optical jukebox with 5 Philips
L6000
        drives.

        We are looking at Lakeview's MIMIX , vision Solutions OMS/ODS, and
the
        DataMirror packages. One concern I have is the large number of
objects
        in QDLS. (950,000 currently). Approximately 30,000 files are created
        daily in QDLS, and another 30,000 are deleted. Since each package
        handles QDLS objects differently, I am concerned with performance
and
        reliability in this area.

        Can anyone share their experiences or opinions on these products?
        (Off-line comments will be accepted).

        thanks,
        Bob
