- Power consumption
- complete vs barebone vs DIY servers
- Remote Management (ILOs)
Tape Drives / Auto Loader
For long term backup tapes are still the best solution. For huge amounts of data an autoloader is must. Its a mechanical beast with damn moving parts that tend to get stuck/break/do other things.
Autoloaders
