[Discuss] Long term data - moving it off spinning disk - other ideas?

[Stephen B Goldman]

Hello list members,
                We currently have Isilon NAS with 600 TB of data. We find we have 20 to 40 Tb of lab data we would like to offload spinning disk. We have TSM available from the campus IT group. They offer an archiving service.

                We would like to hear from others organizations that have the same need and listen to how they are handling this issue.

Thanks in advance,
Stephen
