Changing the economics of a VTL - Improving Data Protection

A proof-of-concept solution running on the Sun Fire X4500 Data Server utilizing Solaris ZFS, a dynamic file system in Sun's Solaris 10 Operating System that delivers provable data integrity with virtually unlimited capacity and near-zero Administration, was showcased at the Sun Forum 2006 Conference in October. This VTL solution will help enable remote office to datacenter replication for Dynamic Reconfiguration with a common simple to use user interface and IP remote replication that addresses recovery time objectives, backup issues, and traditional tape management in an open systems environment at 1/5th the size, and 4x denser compared to a comparable EMC CDL210 Disk Library.

Stay Tuned for future development on this single integrated system combining server, storage and software makes for easy deployment, administration, and maintenance since there are no moving parts. [2]
