5 Reasons to Leverage FalconStor StorSafe VTL to Migrate to IBM PowerVS

The Power of VTLs (Virtual Tape Libraries) for Migrating to the Cloud

More and more organizations are migrating their applications and data to the cloud, and that includes migrating their applications and data to IBM’s state of the art cloud platform, PowerVS. There are many benefits of moving workloads to the cloud and once the decision is made, leveraging the right tools for the migration is important. Why? Because most organizations today are continuing to experience a scarcity of resources, the fear of business disruption, and financial pressures from moving to the cloud. That’s where the power of VTLs come into play, and more specifically FalconStor StorSafe VTL. Backup your data on premises and restore on the cloud – it’s that simple.
