Epoch and R Squared offer different approaches to the implementation of "infinite" file systems. Epoch produces a complete file server with an optical "jukebox" that manages storage, backup etc. R Squared has a package of a "jukebox" bundled with software that is added to your Sun file server to give your server much the same capability at a lower cost. Epoch also has their "Renaissance" software which is added to each diskfull system to provide network file management services. Does anyone have experience with either or both of these systems? How well do they work? Are there any "gotchas" to look out for? Are there other similar systems on the market? If there are sufficient replies to my mailbox, I will post a synopsis to the newsgroup.
