Growing data volumes are a fact of life in today’s enterprise. So is the demand for faster, more reliable backups. StorageTek VTL Prime provides you with a de-duplication appliance that saves on disk expenditures, allows for longer disk retention periods, and speeds backups and restores.
"Green" concerns are on the rise as data growth continues to spiral out of control, raising both environmental and budgetary challenges. Tape virtualization alone has very positive impacts on operational issues in data protection, but it also provides access to storage capacity optimization (SCO) technologies like compression, single instancing, and data de-duplication that can offer additional advantages in the right kinds of environments.
Virtual tape technology is arguably the easiest way to introduce disk into a tape-based backup infrastructure, to improve backup performance and reliability. This paper by the Taneja Group considers current data management considerations and provides a quick review of Sun's tape virtualization solutions.
