| Discover the Benefits of Virtual Tape Solutions |
“Our backups are faster and easier than when we were using tape, and LaserVault ViTL allows us to write virtual backups to our network drives and cloud storage.” J. Madsen, IBM i Administrator, Cash-Wa Distributing
In the fast-paced world of IT, every second counts. Are you still relying on outdated physical tapes for your backups? It’s time to transform your processes. While changing your approach to managing backup and recovery is undoubtedly a big step, many of our IBM i customers tell us they wish they had made the switch from physical tapes sooner. The primary reasons cited are significant time savings and the ease of managing backups.
Our LaserVault ViTL virtual tape solution may not be the next best thing to sliced bread, but it’s close.
Having worked with LaserVault systems for over 30 years, I can honestly say the difference between using manual tape and our virtual solution is night and day. The positive impact on IT operations is immediate and substantial. Here are the top three reasons why:
- Immediate Time Savings: With ViTL, backups are faster, restores are quicker, and both are easier than with physical tape. This results in significant and immediate time savings for your systems and yourself.
- User-Friendly Interface: ViTL is one of the most user-friendly virtual tape solutions available today, with a minimal learning curve. Since you use the same backup commands you’re already familiar with, such as SAVSYS and SAVLIB, it’s like you’re still using tape, but without the physical hassle. Everything can be done without leaving your chair.
- Powerful Management Features: ViTL is packed with functionality. With built-in AES-256 encryption, compression averaging 4:1, easy replication to the cloud, auto-purge, and archive settings, and much more, ViTL quickly enhances your data management capabilities.
ViTL is a powerful, full-featured virtual tape solution designed specifically for the backup and recovery of IBM Power Systems. It is available as either a hardware/software solution or software only. We recently added an optional deduplication feature that allows our customers to reduce network traffic and save on storage costs.
What’s needed to install ViTL? A Fibre Channel or SAS connection. Most installs are done remotely by our tech staff. Many customers choose remote installation and begin backing up with ViTL the same day. That’s how quickly you can transition from physical tape to virtual backup.
