Hitachi moves away from tape diligently
Hitachi Data Systems is now reselling a virtual tape library from Diligent Technologies. Virtual tape works by convincing servers and mainframes that disk storage is actually tape storage, so customers get the benefits of both ways. Diligent's product is ProtecTier VT, but Hitachi is just calling it Virtual Tape Library. (This deal couldn't have happened a few years ago when Diligent was part of Hitachi's arch-rival EMC.)
