In the troubles in the early 90s when it looked like the corporation might be split up into pieces ... and the disk division logo'ed as ADSTAR ... "workstation datasave" was repositioned as ADSM (ADSTAR Distributed Storage Management). When they were selling off san jose ... ADSM got transferred and relogo'ed TSM: http://www.almaden.ibm.com/StorageSystems/projects/tsm/ one of the funny things is that TSM now bears little evidence of its vm/cms (cmsback) heritage.
