Modernize your old
Tape Backup Solution

No more costly management of tapes, no more missing backup windows, and no more losing data.

CHALLENGES WITH TAPE BACKUPS

Tape backup cannot meet today’s demands for fast recovery
Backup data, including tape, are vulnerable to theft, damage, and cyber criminals
Data growth is making it challenging to make backup windows
Tape is expensive to use and manage
IT resources are tight

Old backup and recovery options, such as primarily leveraging tape, are no longer viable for most organizations. While some organizations still have legacy tapes from years past and continue to backup to tape, managing tapes can be a challenge.

What's next

Modern technologies are introducing new demands for IT departments daily to adapt and develop, adding more training time and ramping up expertise on every innovation. Today organizations are dealing with explosive data growth, cybersecurity risks, and the migration of data to the cloud. How do you protect the data in the cloud? How do you address escalating cyber-attacks on your backup data?

100% software

Virtual tape backup is 100% software, so there's no risk of needing to purchase additional hardware.

95% Deduplicated

Deduplicated data means less storage is needed. It can save you up to 95% on your backup storage.

Backup to cloud

Cloud-ready for easy migration. The most cost-effective way to store your data long-term.

Save time and resources

Eliminate the need for high-risk backup procedures. Unlike tape backups, disk-to-disk-to-tape restores are fast and efficient, so you can avoid risks to your important data.

100% compatible

100% compatible with existing backup software, so you can move your backups to a VTL without changing your existing backup strategy.

VTLs (VIRTUAL TAPE LIBRARY) FOR TAPE BACKUPS AND MORE

VTLs have seen a rise in popularity because of their ease of use and cost-efficiency. VTLs work with your existing backup and recovery processes. Within an organization, it is common to have several backup software vendors in use, protecting different divisions or departments, utilizing different trusted, ingrained procedures that don’t need to change.

Organizations need a way to increase the performance of their existing backup and archive operations, which tape alone cannot address. Deduplication must be used to aggressively reduce the size of backup sets for modern backup and recovery. Control growing storage costs with sophisticated and patented deduplication capabilities with the added flexibility to set when to run the deduplication process for helping to meet backup windows.

Sophisticated security in VTLs such as protecting data in transit and at rest against cyber-attacks for today’s ecosystem are required to keep up with the pace of change and dynamic demands beyond tape. Air-gapped and immutable backups are today’s imperative.

VTLs can be leveraged to migrate data to the cloud seamlessly. Need to move data to multicloud platforms like IBM PowerVS, AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP)? Use your VTL. Leverage your VTL as well to restore legacy tapes to the cloud without having to rehydrate the data to disk before backing up the data for long time archival and compliance use.

State-of-the-art VTLs are the go-to technology to modernize enterprise data movement leveraging existing backup and recovery processes and addressing the problems with legacy tape backup and recovery.
