FalconStor Virtual Tape Library (VTL) with Deduplication
ViON presents the FalconStor Virtual Tape Library (VTL) appliance, a solution that integrates the high performance Hitachi Adaptable Modular Storage (AMS) into a market-leading VTL and high-performance data deduplication solution for organizations of all sizes. Easy to implement, this solution alleviates the challenges of traditional tape backup, offering built-in data deduplication and replication for storage optimization, bandwidth efficiency and cost-effective disaster recovery (DR).
FalconStor Software has teamed up with Hitachi to offer a series of preconfigured turnkey storage appliances that help organizations overcome the challenges associated with tape backup, reducing capacity requirements by as much as 20 times or more. The FalconStor VTL appliance on Hitachi storage provides fast backup, built-in data deduplication, replication, integration with Symantec OpenStorage (OST) and best-of-breed tape management in a single solution.
By emulating over 50 tape libraries and 30 tape formats, the FalconStor VTL appliance fits easily into any backup environment. Backups immediately become faster and more reliable with little or no change needed to daily operations. The FalconStor VTL appliance enables the creation of multiple virtual tape drive targets, eliminating the need to queue backup jobs or manage the complexity of tape drive sharing.
Build-in data deduplication and compression eliminates redundant backup data by as much as 95%. Deduplication can be performed concurrently with backup or after backup completes to optimize storage efficiency without affecting the backup window. This allows far more data to be retained on disk, extending local recovery capabilities without the reliability concerns of tape-based restore.
Providing enterprise-level functionality, FalconStor VTL is available as a flexible set of turnkey appliances using Hitachi AMS high-performance storage controllers. These preconfigured appliances offer all required switches, KVM, cables and management servers. Available storage scales from 19TB to 39TB of physical, RAID protected, usable capacity corresponding to between 380TB and 780TB of logical repository, based on an average 20:1 deduplication ratio. Storage can easily and non-disruptively scale by adding field expansion storage shelves. Customer configurations are available, scaling from 1TB of usable storage, expandable to 68TB.
Additionally, FalconStor VTL with clustered deduplication is available for applications that require more performance, physical storage or longer data retention periods. The FalconStor File Interface Deduplication (FDS) solution provides data deduplication for disk-to-disk (D2D) applications.
