Managing a Virtual Tape Library

IBM Power Virtual Server in IBM data center

IBM Power Virtual Server Private Cloud in Client location

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 in the client-managed environment 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 IBM data center and Client location with the following names:

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