MIGRATION TO THE CLOUD
Backup on-premises, then restore in the cloud – it’s that simple!
Customer Need
Adopt the cloud for all workloads, including IBM i workloads in PowerVS.
StorSafe VTL Solution
Using your preferred backup software, including BRMS or SAVE commands, to direct backups to the 100% compatible StorSafe VTL product then replicate to a StorSafe VTL instance in the cloud. Do a restore in the cloud, and your migration is complete.
StorSafe VTL uses industry-leading deduplication to reduce backup images by up to 95%! This is while achieving industry-leading throughput of 40TB per hour per server on-premises (see benchmark study by ESG). This can help get your migrations to the cloud completed more quickly. Do you need a multicloud solution to migrate to more than one cloud platform? We can do that too!
Customer Outcome
Cloud migration, especially to PowerVS for IBM i users, is quickly achieved with the same StorSafe VTL used for on-premises and cloud data protection. It’s a cost-effective and simple solution that has been used by many companies to take advantage of the cloud.
Here’s how it’s done!
