Ken,
On this I will need to respectfully disagree, seems I work with this
product every day and this is not accurate. The DLm is 100% evolution of the
BusTech MDL and we see this constantly in the product. Is it different yes,
has it evolved yes, and the evolution is from BusTech MDL. I have worked on
this product from the time it was acquired by EMC now Dell. And another fun
relatively unknow BusTech fact at one time for a short while they were owned by
StorageTek (STK). This happened because BusTech was acquired by Network
Systems Corp who was then acquired by STK. After that the principals of BusTech
were able to buy their company back from STK.

That’s not true! EMC purchased BUSTECH and killed their product. DLm is an
internal EMC development and had nothing to do with the BUSTECH products.

Just a small point of clarification BUSTECH was purchased by EMC in the
2010 / 2011 time frame and from that come the DLm.

The "former BUSTECH" is also claimed by OPTICA (the people who make converters
and directors), for their z/VT product. It's a lot closer to the original
BUSTECH than DLm, but they could both be based on the same technology.
