Product Details:

The last five years have seen a disk based backup technology known as Virtual Tape Library (VTL) become adopted as the norm within larger organisations. Although VTL deals with backup and recovery constraints common to all IT infrastructures, its high cost and wide ranging functionality is clearly focused at the enterprise level company.
Whilst the smaller and medium sized business may not have the same complex infrastructures, they face the same obstacles when it comes to protecting their information and data. The traditional tape solutions still provide an efficient method of long-term protection, but today with the need to backup more and more data in less time and still provide for a realistic recovery, disk based solutions form the core of the modern backup and recovery appliance.
By streamlining enterprise class VTL solutions, we offer first to market affordable VTL designed for the smaller and medium sized business. Complex configurations and emulations have been replaced with a simple one-click solution needing no specialised IT skills or administration. Providing the same benefits found at the highest levels, the VTL-Value options deliver the performance, reliability and availability of disk based solutions while enabling the use of existing backup software and procedures.
