I used to be the lead backup guy at a pretty huge corporation, where I had several StorageTek libraries in operation. Amazing machines really, archived huge amounts of data and the barcodes/software made what should have been complicated an absolute breeze.
VIPs always wanted to give tours of the data centre (it was a pretty impressive place), and 95% of the time it was the same... in a room with untold computing power, millions upon millions of dollars worth of hardware... what really impressed people was the robotics inside the StorageTeks extracting tapes. Sure, it looks cool... but it's not our product people! If you're going to invest in a company, don't be impressed by someone else's slick work!
Whatever gets the money, I guess...
