Bus-Tech MDL 4000 Virtual Tape Library

The MDL-4000 is engineered for datacenters and can deliver more 600 MBytes of data per second and scales from 4 FICON channels and 512 tape devices to 8 FICON channels and 1,024 tape devices. The MDL-4000 provides a minimum of 2 redundant, independently operating emulation nodes; an independent Access Control Point (ACP); and the ability to attach large-scale IP or Fibre Channel storage. An MDL-4000 can be field upgraded to an MDL-6000 when processing requirements increase.

The Mainframe Data Library (MDL) is a family of Virtual Tape Library controllers for IBM compatible and Unisys 2200 mainframes. All MDL products are powered by Bus-Tech's Virtuent software engine and can be combined in highly modular solutions that scale easily to satisfy the most demanding mainframe tape requirements. An MDL solution provides enterprise data centers with lower tape processing costs, improved end-user service levels, innovative disaster recovery alternatives, and the ability to include compliant storage in their mainframe environment.
