We are in the process of evaluating 4mm DAT backup subsystems for our Sun
4/280 fileservers.  I've contacted Summus Computer Systems and Tri-Star
Technologies, which look the most promising so far... but does anyone out
there have some other vendors I might consider?  Or better yet, is there
someone who has a 4mm DAT backup system setup on their Sun fileserver?
How it it performing?  Problems with the vendor?  What things should I be
on the lookout for?  Any and all input greatly appreciated.

(We've investigated 8mm in the past and definitely want to go with 4mm DAT
over Exabyte.)
