>>Have you considered EMC DLm or Bus-tech MDL (EMC owns Bus-tech now). I have not worked with MDL (which I think is more of a "small shop" solution), but I have with DLm. I've also worked with VSM, but it was always >>backed by physical tape. BTW, the vendor is Oracle now, not Sun.
So my understanding is the MDL was the HDS version of the DLM - the Bustech appliance ahead of HDS storage. We have an HDS MDL which uses an AMS2500 for back-end storage. It's also my understanding that the MDL is no longer available as such. HDS now sells the Falconstor's VTL instead. I would consider the DLM & the MDL to be roughly equivalent. We are very happy with the performance of the MDL. dd keller This e-mail message and all attachments transmitted with it may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
