Dear Ms. Meade:
I don’t see how you can talk about tape without pain. I’ve been dealing with tape for ten years, ever since we got a big library installed, and I have had nothing but problems. Tape without pain? Hah.

We’ve just recovered from the exertions of Storage Expo 2009 – a show which has always been one of the better attended shows in the industry’s calendar. But what of this year’s show? Well certainly the financial climate and its impact on IT spending has been a major talking point over the last 12 to 18 months – but has the industry weathered the storm? According to reports – http://bit.ly/15Vm1b – there are some doubts as to whether we are over the worst of it, but the prevailing attitude of vendors attending the show this year seemed to be optimistic. End-users at the show, if not ready to put pen to paper immediately, were certainly talking about committing budget in the next three to six months.
I attended Storage Networking World Fall 2009 in Scottsdale, AZ earlier this week. Here are a few of my observations.
Dear Ms. Meade:
Why would you ever recommend tape when disk is cheaper?

Dear Ms. I Know More:
A little misinformation is a dangerous thing. It has become nearly axiomatic that "disk is cheaper than tape.” This is simply unwarranted faith in the song of the disk-only vendor. The fact is, tape is cheaper than disk.

Dear Ms. Meade:
My tapes are defective. My supplier says that tapes are just like that and she can’t do anything about it.
