Download our white paper to discover how FalconStor 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 with 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.

FalconStor VTL can non-disruptively replace tape backup in a disk-to-disk (D2D) format to accelerate backup/recovery processes and improve operational efficiency. The advantages our 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. The result is reduced operational and media costs with increasing performance levels to meet stringent application recovery service level agreements (SLAs) and to maximize return on investment (ROI).
