AIT 3 Library Hardware Reliability
We have been using AIT 2 and 3 drives for about 2 years now and have
had many failures. We use libraries from Cybernetics and more recently ADIC. Our ADIC Scaler 100 is less than three months old and we have already replaced four drives. We have four Cybernetic two drive/30 tape libraries and none of them have lasted a full year without at least one drive being replaced. We do write quite a bit of data to them...probably running all our drives 8-16 hours per day. However we follow the manufacturers recommended cleaning cycle and have very few tape errors. Our libraries live in environmentally controlled clean rooms ~65 F and 30% humidity. Their power is also protected and conditioned. I don't see a lot of postings about AIT technology being bad, and the performance is nice when it works. Has anyone else experienced such a high failure rate with this technology? Any hints? Thanks in advance for your thoughts and ideas... |
