Tape Virtualization

Too much data, increasing every day, can slow one-tape-at-a-time transfers and cause backup failure delays. Is duplicate data slowing your backups and straining your storage resources? Looking for a better way to shrink data volumes? The Sun StorageTek VTL Systems provide you with an easy-to-use, scalable, all-in-one, de-duplication solution that eliminates redundant data, maximizes utilization, and increases energy efficiency.

VTL Prime: It is an integrated VTL and data reduplication solution, addresses these data protection challenges and provides you with real solutions. StorageTek VTL Prime data reduplication software delivers huge data reduction providing significant cost savings by reducing storage and replication bandwidth requirements. StorageTek VTL Prime is simple, cost-effective for remote office/back office (ROBO) operations and integrates an efficient replication technology to promote consolidation of backup data to the central datacenter.
