Description
ProtecTIER® represents a disk-based storage system that employs data deduplication technology to efficiently manage data on disk arrays. Utilizing Feature Code 9022, the ProtecTIER Virtual Tape Library (VTL) service mimics the functionality of conventional automated tape libraries. Additionally, Feature Code 9024 allows for the configuration of a standalone TS7650G as FSI. Various software applications operate on different components and configurations of the TS7650G, enhancing its versatility. The ProtecTIER Manager workstation, which must be provided by the customer, runs the dedicated ProtecTIER Manager software. This software facilitates a graphical user interface for managing the TS7650G system. By imitating traditional tape libraries, the ProtecTIER VTL service allows users to transition seamlessly to disk-based backup solutions without overhauling their existing backup infrastructures. Furthermore, existing backup applications can utilize virtual robots to facilitate the movement of virtual cartridges between their designated virtual slots and drives, ensuring a smooth operational flow. Ultimately, this integration supports a more efficient backup strategy without compromising on functionality.
Description
StarWind VTL enables organizations to transition away from expensive physical tape backup systems while still meeting regulatory requirements for data retention and archiving, utilizing on-premises Virtual Tape Libraries combined with cloud and object storage tiering. To safeguard your backups against ransomware threats, they can be kept "air-gapped" on virtual tapes. You have the flexibility to replicate and tier backups to any public cloud, utilizing industry-standard object storage for enhanced scalability, security, and cost-effectiveness. We are excited to present a consumption-based licensing model for StarWind VTL, eliminating restrictions on the number of installations or backup servers. Instead, you only pay for the data managed by the VTL instances operating within your infrastructure. Additionally, we offer automatic discounts for larger data sets, meaning that as your archive grows, the cost per terabyte decreases significantly. As we introduce the subscription model gradually across different regions, your sales representative is ready to provide you with specific information regarding availability in your area, ensuring that you have the best options suited for your needs. This approach allows businesses to enhance their backup strategies while optimizing their budgets effectively.
