> millions of small-to-medium businesses that could use a good and cheap backup solution for terabytes of data.

Yes, and that's exactly how small-to-medium business IT used to operate.

These days sadly most small-to-medium businesses are drinking the cloud koolaid.

You would be hard pushed to find a small-biz with a comms room these days, when back in the day every half-decent small-biz office would have a comms room with cab and a few servers in it.

Now most small-biz are on Microsoft or Gmail for mail and their office is full of laptops on WiFi.... nobody has any respect for good old-fashioned structured cabling these days either, sadly. ;(

It is what it is, sadly.

Hence only governments, enterprises and, ironically (if rumours are correct) the cloud providers (for their archival S3 products) are still buying tape.
