Features include:
Copatibility: StorSafe VTL is compatible with any leading backup solution that uses physical or virtual tapes. Customers can quickly modernize existing IBM i, AIX, or Linux backup solutions without significantly changing the backup solution
Up to 95% Data Reduction: Using a Single Instance Repository (SIR) for block-level deduplication, the solution removes redundant copies of data, reducing capacity requirements and improving data portability in the cloud.
Ransomware Protection: WORM (Write Once, Read Many) capability allows non-rewritable and non-erasable data to be written to virtual tapes, providing extra data security by prohibiting accidental or unplanned data erasure. Virtual tapes are written once and cannot be altered even by an administrator.
Cost Optimized Cloud Storage: Use Google Cloud Storage as the VTL deduplication data repository to reduce storage costs. Copy or move virtual tapes to Google Cloud Storage for cost optimized, long term storage.
Simplify Cloud Migration: Import physical tape libraries and migrate data to Google Cloud. This provides an inexpensive solution for preserving data and renewing backups in Google Cloud where no physical tape libraries or drives are required.
Google Cloud Billing Integration: All billing is handled by Google Cloud to simplify your cloud FinOps practice.
Multi-Region Replication: Deploy multiple StorSafe VTL appliances to replicate data between Google Cloud regions for disaster recovery.
