With 16 disk drive bays of virtual tape backup capacity, and speeds of 500 MB/s, this Virtual Tape Library makes short work of the biggest backup jobs. Utilizing the power of RAID and disk based tape virtualization, you can write data from all your heterogeneous workstations and servers to multiple virtual tape libraries on the VTL at once – all with your existing tape backup software. Data remains in disk cache for near-instantaneous restore. Offload to portable tape for long term archival storage is a serverless operation that is performed in the background, so it won't slow your network. A D2D2T Virtual Tape Library strategy combines the performance of disk with the security and cost efficiency of tape for the ultimate in data protection.

• Single control point for all backups across any mix of operating systems including IBM i, p and x Series, Windows, Linux, Unix, Netware, and MAC OS X.

• So there are no new procedures to learn or new software to purchase.

• With D2D tape virtualization you can write backups to multiple virtual tapes drives concurrently, at disk-to-disk speeds of up to 500 MB/s.

• Optional deduplication will save time and space needed for backups, a 500 GB backup would need less than 10 GB of space. Includes site-to-site replication of deduplicated data.

• Each writing in parallel to its own virtual tape drive/library, and unlimited virtual tapes with each one.
