Superb link, Shamus. Thank you! Both sobering ( History ) and promising. The DST IS the solution...the sole solution ...to their problems.IF trust can be restored. For instance...just one small instance from a skim ... << For a cost of nearly $250,000 the NCCS upgraded the remaining five StorageTek silos to faster robotics (2.5x), in preparation for mounting more than 33,000 800 MB tapes for repacking onto the more dense 10 GB tapes. Requiring more tape mounts to support an average monthly rate of 1.5 TB of new data into the system, the NCCS installed IBM Magstar tape drives in its StorageTek silos in August, 1997, Increasing the amount of data a silo can store twelve-fold. >> If those tapes were transferred to quad density AXC tapes ...not only would the work be done MUCH faster ...but instead of having 2,640 tapes to store and keep track of..they would have 40. In addition, AXC's format allows precise partitioning...insertion and erasure. Which further reduces wasted space and time ( the other formats do not).Again, DST IS the solution to all of the problems mentioned in that excellent link.. And it is here right now. If you can simply get them to believe AXC will be around ( it is as Mike said, a whole new management team).
