"....[W]orking
with the FalconStor VTL solution is just like working with
a real tape library-only better. FalconStor VTL is better
than tape since backup performance to FalconStor VTL is
up to four times faster than backing up to tape, and a selective
restore can be orders of magnitude faster."

testing of FalconStor VTL |

"FalconStor's
VirtualTape Library product will set the pace in 2004 for
the emerging disk library market. Enterprise and SMB customers
alike are starting to evaluate the use of disk-to-disk backup
platforms because of their improved performance and ease
of use over traditional backup practices, and FalconStor
should be on the A-list as the first vendor to offer one
platform for both iSCSI and Fibre Channel."

and Networking, The Yankee Group |

"Our
latest ESG research reflects a rapid adoption of Virtual
Tape Library technologies, primarily due to the ease of
implementation and the fact that VTL helps alleviate many
of the key issues users face with current backup and recovery
solutions. FalconStor offers a robust VTL solution which
is being adopted by both end users and major OEM partners.
This adoption proves that the benefits of FalconStor's
VTL solution, which include reduced backup windows and
faster recovery times, are compelling and necessary in
an era of explosive data growth."

Cost-effective solution that uses disk to
enhance the reliability, speed, and availability of backups.
Provides comprehensive data protection for both SAN and DAS
environments, facilitating backups to virtual tape in the traditional
tape backup model while also providing the ability to perform
continuous disk-based backups.
With today’s
dwindling IT budgets, administrators and other IT professionals
are aggressively searching for ways to maximize investments
in their existing storage infrastructure. This fact, coupled
with shrinking backup windows, and escalating data growth, and
the growing need for a cost effective, reliable, business continuity
solution are pushing the limits of internal resources.
There is a solution:
FalconStor’s Virtual Tape Library (VTL), powered by
IPStor, which is a turnkey solution that uses disk to enhance
the speed, reliability, and availability of backups, without
changing existing tape backup software and procedures. |

VTL Maximizes Backup Performance and Reliability
FalconStor VTL increases the speed and reliability
of existing third party backup applications by using disks to
emulate industry standard tape libraries.
FalconStor VTL leverages the Fibre Channel (FC)
or IP protocol to transfer data to and restore data from disk-based
virtual tape at ultra high speeds. And, FalconStor VTL maximizes
reliability, and improves backup and restore success rate, by
eliminating robotic mechanical failures and physical tape media
errors.
Reliability
is a critical IT concern, and with FalconStor’s VTL solution,
users can perform storage controller-aware I/O load balancing,
and leverage the transparent failover and fail-back capabilities
of a vast array of intelligent storage systems. Users also have
the ability to configure two VTL appliances as an active-active
cluster to maximize service availability. |

FalconStor
VTL Reduces Material and Administrative Costs of Backup and Restore
Adding to the FalconStor VTL’s inherent
ability to aggregate and provision backup resources, as well
as virtual tape drives/libraries over FC or IP SAN, this unique
solution offers a new level of centralized management via the
IP-based delta replication option, which replicates a virtual
tape cartridge over IP in a peer-to-peer or many-to-one configuration,
based on policy. FalconStor VTL significantly reduces the administrative
burden placed on IT managers and staff by empowering users to
initiate full disk or file recovery through rollback or mounted
snapshots. FalconStor VTL also eliminates the need to rely on
a library sharing option to coordinate access to a FC tape drive/library.
FalconStor VTL Delivers
Seamless Integration
FalconStor’s ongoing interoperability
testing with leading hardware and software solutions ensures
seamless integration of VTL into an existing IT environment,
while optimizing the overall performance and functionality of
VTL and other technologies used by FalconStor customers today.
