Bus-Tech Mainframe Data Library

The Mainframe Data Library (MDL) is a family of high-performance mainframe virtual tape controllers that use open system disk storage to store and retrieve tape data. All versions share the same architecture and can be used in any combination. The result is a modular, scalable solution that incorporates the advantages of open system storage and networking technologies into the mainframe data center.

The MDL enables enterprise data centers to lower tape processing costs; improve end-user service levels; optimize disaster recovery benchmarks; and include compliant storage in their mainframe tape environment. Significant performance improvements can be realized with the MDL. It accelerates your batch, data facility hierarchical storage management (DFHSM), backup, and restore processes to help meet shrinking data processing windows and growing service level requirements.
