[olug] Lto3 library w/ 3 drives

[Hurley Rod]

I have a steal of a deal for everyone, because I have no place to keep this anymore.  Been in production for about 2 years, and on the shelf for 3 months after upgrading to LTO4 library with more slots.
 
IBM TS3583 with 3 fibre channel LTO3 drives.  6 drive slots, so you have room for 3 more if you want to scale up.   As of decommision in June, it had latest drive code and firmware.  42 slots and 6 port I/O door.  This one has casters on it, as I used it as a standalone, but can be rackmounted easily.  Works perfectly, but I have not extended the service contract.  If you are so inclined, it will qualify for IBM support.

Backup software and O/S agnostic, as long as your O/S supports LTO3 and basic library changer driver.
 
Contact me off-list for pricing, as I am taking offers here.  We paid a good chunk of change for it, but if you make a "reasonable" offer we will be selling it to someone, for sure.
