Virtual Tape Library (VTL)
Migrate to the cloud and optimize backup and recovery leveraging Falconstor Virtual Tape Library with Deduplication
THE CHALLENGES WITHOUT A STATE-OF-THE-ART VIRTUAL TAPE LIBRARY
Growing data volumes, protecting data from malicious attacks and the migration to the cloud are all presenting new challenges. IT budgets continue to shrink, and resources are already stretched. The challenges only continue to rise.
The petabytes of data are increasing storage costs. Malicious ransomware attacks can compromise servers and data. Hybrid cloud environments are today’s new normal. Some old challenges and new ones are taking up valuable IT resources.
With this explosive data growth – the amount of data is doubling every year – IT organizations are experiencing the challenges of legacy backup:
- Difficulty in meeting backup windows
- Increased spending on storage systems
- Unreliable data recovery from cyber and ransomware attacks
- Difficulty meeting security regulatory and compliance requirements
- Increased data migrations to cloud
- Data protection for multi-cloud environments
There's A Better Way Leveraging
VTL
Enterprises need a way to increase the performance of their existing backup and archive operations to meet the challenge of unstoppable data growth and limited budgets. Deduplication must be used to aggressively reduce the size of backup sets. Operations must run faster, so more data can be protected each day, and with greater security. Migration to the cloud needs to be easy.
Within an enterprise, it is not uncommon to have several backup software vendors in use, protecting different divisions or departments, possibly, with piles of data specific to each, and different trusted, ingrained procedures. That is why virtual tape libraries (VTLs) make sense because they work with your existing backup and recovery processes. 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. 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.
State-of-the-art VTLs are the go-to technology to modernize enterprise data movement leveraging existing backup and recovery processes.
