Just thought I'd throw this out there. We installed IBM's Information Archive in February and it is a very powerful tool for us. In a nutshell, Information Archive (IA) is a SAN that attaches via fibre to our System i. We use it exclusively as tier 2 storage for our ECM images but it performs like tier 1 storage.
IA has everything built in to protect our images. But unlike WORM optical devices, we can implement our retention policies to purge data from IA and tape! A big thanks goes out to Genus LLC and Ron Henkhaus from IBM for their roles in our implementation.
