Managing a Virtual Tape Library

IBM Power Virtual Server located in IBM data centers: Off-premises

IBM Power Virtual Server Private Cloud: On-premises

FalconStor Virtual Tape Library (VTL) is an optimized backup and deduplication solution that provides tape library emulation, high-speed backup or restore, data archival to supported S3 clouds for long-term storage, global data deduplication, enterprise-wide replication, and long-term cloud-based container archive, without requiring changes to the existing environment.

Here are some of the StorSafe VTL Benefits

• Up to 95% data reduction. FalconStor reduces the storage capacity required by backup data on-premises and in the cloud by up to 95%.
• Ransomware Protection. Recover data from any point in time with air-gapped, immutable backups.
• Offsite Protection. For offsite protection, StorSafe VTL exports virtual tapes as physical tapes, and keeps track of their location with a management dashboard. Virtual tapes can remain in the library for fast restores or can be stubbed when exported to local object storage.
• High Performance. Improve both backup and recovery.
• Modernize. FalconStor is 100% compatible with existing backup software, hardware, and operational procedures.

VTL is offered through the IBM Cloud Catalog for both Off-premises and On-premises with the following names:

• FalconStor StorSafe VTL for Power On-Premises and
• FalconStor StorSafe VTL for PowerVS Cloud.
