FalconStor VTL Virtual Tape Library with De-duplication

High-performance backup and restore with deduplication

FalconStor® Virtual Tape Library (VTL) with deduplication is a disk-based backup solution that optimizes backup and restore, improving performance and enabling rapid remote disaster recovery (DR).

This solution bridges legacy backup with a more flexible data protection paradigm through a disk-based architecture that reduces physical storage needs and costs. FalconStor VTL provides WAN-optimized replication for cost-effective DR, also helping to set the stage for cost-effective cloud initiatives. Benefits include longer data retention times and improved restore times, as well as increased data reliability through the elimination of tape shipments.

Sound familiar? What’s breaking legacy backup environments…
• Exploding data growth
– Data grows at a rate of 50-60% annually
– Searching for data across multiple backups and locations
• Growing costs
– Increased spending on storage systems
– Shrinking IT budgets
– Longer retention policies require more storage and tape media
– Skyrocketing WAN requirements, increasing monthly bandwidth cost
• Performance challenges
– Inability to meet recovery times (RTO, RPO)
– Difficulty meeting backup windows
– In D2D environments, tape creation is disruptive to production backup
• Data reliability
– Difficulty meeting regulatory compliance requirements
– Longer retention times to meet demanding SLAs
– Improve reliability of backup/recovery
– Unreliable data recovery from tape media
