>>Darth, You said " HDS now sells the Falconstor's VTL instead."
To be pedantic, that's not entirely true. We have a lot of successful Falconstore implementations on the dark side of the computer room, but for mainframe you need something that virtualizes mainframe tape drives like Luminex or Secure Agent, and hands off the data to Falconstore. We can use VSP, AMS, or virtualized ACME brand disk as the back store with this solution. >>Ron I haven't researched it myself - I'm just repeating what an HDS rep told me when I asked him about updates to the MDL.
