Also, not as snazzy, it's a MTL, zVT.

"EMC has been reselling Bus-Tech's Mainframe Data Library VTL since 2008
as the EMC Disk Library for mainframe (DLm)"
Not taking any sides etc., just sharing what a quick search found.

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.
