Use Case
Backup as a Service (BaaS)
One StorSafe VTL instance is run on-premises to capture backups and deliver fast restores from the deduplicated backups.
A second instance of StorSafe VTL is run at the MSP’s datacenter or in clouds such as IBM, AWS, and Azure to provide offsite protection.
MSPs fit each customer site with the correct configuration and manage it all.
Use Case
Modernize IBM i Backup Operations
StorSafe VTL appears as an industry-standard physical tape library to the IBM i BRMS backup and restore software so it is 100% compatible with existing processes and can be smoothly introduced without requiring any retraining for BRMS personnel.
StorSafe VTL is the only IBM-certified data protection and migration solution for the IBM cloud, so a 100% IBM solution can be configured.
