I am a Sr Consultant at a Fortune 200 co. We/I originally picked Arcserve as our backup software of choice for 90+ NT servers. After a trial it seemed like a good product I had 5+ years experience with it and so we installed it on a couple of servers. After about 2 months of production use I became disenchanted with some aspect of the product. We looked at Seagate Backup Exec and after 2 month production head to head have picked it for our NT servers. I am right now looking at Seagates Software distribution/lan auditing software for our 7000+ workstations worldwide. So my question is how much of Seagate's Rev/profit come from the software side and doesn't this give them an advantage over most of the competition, except IBM. I think it could be an over looked advantage. Most large company have not successfully deployed software dist and Lan audit has been lame and are in need of update. I believe this is a big market with standard software GMs So Any thoughts Richard Vaughn
