What do you like best about StorageTek?

StorageTek has roots going back to the advent of the tape automation industry when the company pivoted to technology to make the business successful. As a result, StorageTek has deep experience in the backup and archival business and not only produces many models of tape libraries but also produces some of the world's largest archival storage units for very prominent customers such as Google! Google is not known to buy many commercial hardware systems, as they like Facebook and many others will produce their hardware system from commodity components. However, this is not the case with deep storage archives, which utilize many StorageTek SL8500 automated tape libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StorageTek?

I wouldn't say I like that StorageTek stopped R&D and manufacturing of their tape drive technology. However, it was great that they continued to sell a competitive tape technology focused on the enterprise until the mid-2010s. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering StorageTek:

Consider it, even if it costs more. The SL150 is a fantastic value. However, it's not as inexpensive as it once was it has more functionality than it did regarding the expansion of tape slots than it did when introduced. The mid-range SL4000 (previously SL3000) and SL8500 are worthwhile contenders for your business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is StorageTek solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm solving the need for deep storage archives and extensive backup reposittories, ranging from SMB to Large Enterprise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
