I remember what EMC sales guy said when they offered DLm. It was not
long after Bustech was bought.
They claimed it is just Bustech device, however due to EMC interest it
support EMC disk at backend, no tapes, no other vendors disks.
Disclaimers: I'm neither follower nor opponent of EMC or Bustech people.
I have no way to check what part of DLm have roots from Bustech.
However it would make no sense to buy the product (company) just to
issue another product, so I read EMC sales guys words as reasonable.
BTW: What about Sutmyn VTAPE aka CA-VTAPE? Is is still marketed?
Personally I did not like it because it tool CPU cycles and expensive
CKD DASD, however I heard it was somehow enhanced to support IP-attached
NAS for destaging.

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.
