FalconStor is committed to engagement with the strong and passionate IBM i user community through user group sponsorships and relationships with technology partners and Managed Service Providers that serve the community.

Download our white paper to better understand how StorSafe VTL is used as a backup target for IBM i environments. For too long, the standard method of backing up IBM i systems has been to use a locally attached tape drive or library. The result is reduced performance due to limited backup streams, excessive manual tape handling, and no way to secure data offsite. StorSafe takes aim at that to increase the speed of backup, drive faster restore, and drive out the headache and cost of tape.

StorSafe can non-disruptively replace tape backup in a disk-to-disk (D2D) format to accelerate backup/recovery processes and improve operational efficiency. The advantages are significant: integration with native backup tools, IPL bare-metal recovery from virtual or physical tape, and direct physical tape support with encryption to maximize secure operations. Using StorSafe reduces both operational and media costs while increasing performance levels to meet stringent application recovery service level agreements (SLAs) and to maximize return on investment (ROI).
