			<description><![CDATA[(Their fault, by the way. I'm more than happy to take a briefing.) From what I remember (and I prepare to stand corrected), the 8500 is the largest tape library SYSTEM. But.... 1. It's actually not A tape library. It's SEVEN tape libraries connected with pass-thru slots. Anyone that knows what they are knows that is a far cry from what Spectralogic has come out with. 2. IIRC, you need ACSLS to present the multiple libraries (because they ARE multiple libraries) as a single virtual library to a single host. Yes, I know ACSLS does more than that, but my understand it is required to present these multiple libraries as one library. Please correct me if I'm wrong.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Just a small comments. From what I know Sun SL8500 is the largest tape library. It can contains 70,000 cells with up to 448 drives when 7x SL8500 are grouped together. Plans are to extend to 10x SL8500 soon. Sun own that market since years. GREAT comments on your tape analysis. Yes tape beat disk once again...wait next year when they will double or more the capacity with new media formula. Some will storage up to 2 to 4 times more than what they actually do today. Yes tape drive speed is a problem. Media handling and management is another one too. That is the problem with tape. Other than that life with tape is much better than disk. Having to deal with SATA failure and huge potential data lost ( including dedup) you really start to like tape...the golden copy who saved thousand of admin per year...]]></description>
