Leverage the Power of VTLs

Modernize Protection for IBM® i Environments

FalconStor StorSafe VTL (Virtual Tape Library) for IBM Power on-premises, hybrid cloud, or in the cloud is 100% complementary with your current backup and recovery infrastructure and IBM Certified for PowerVS.

StorSafe VTL

Hundreds of IBM Power environments worldwide use FalconStor StorSafe VTL. FalconStor StorSafe VTL is a state-of-the-art virtual tape library software solution that can run in the cloud, on physical servers, or on virtual machines. The virtual tape library (VTL) solution works with any leading backup software on any IBM Power (IBM i/AIX/Linux), or mixed heterogeneous operating systems shrinking backup images with advanced compression and patented block-level deduplication to optimize backup and recovery operations and simplify cloud migrations.

StorSafe VTL incorporates leading security technology to keep data safe in transit and at rest to protect and to help quickly restore against cyber-attacks. StorSafe VTL is integrated with IBM Cloud Object Storage (COS) to protect against ransomware attacks.

Simplify cloud migrations to PowerVS with FalconStor StorSafe VTL. Backup on-premises, then restore in the cloud – it’s that simple!

FalconStor StorSafe VTL includes FalconStor StorSight® for easy centralized management of any number of StorSafe VTL instances running across on-premises or the cloud.

5 IBM Power And PowerVS Use Cases

1. On-Premises Backup, where existing processes are used with the backup target set for StorSafe VTL.

Benefit: Reduce storage costs with up to 95% reduction in backup image size from multi-patented deduplication.

2. Hybrid Cloud Backup, where customers perform backups on-premises with StorSafe VTL, deduplicate, and send a copy to the cloud.

Benefit: Reduce data transferred to the cloud with deduplication, saving time, bandwidth, and storage costs for an archive or disaster recovery (DR) solution.

3. Migrate from On-premises to Cloud, where multi-OS on-premises workloads and legacy tapes are migrated to a cloud environment.

Benefit: Simplify migration of on-premises workloads and legacy tapes to cloud environments.

4. Cloud-Resident Backup, where workloads in the cloud are backed up via StorSafe VTL.

Benefit: Ensure cost-effective and reliable backups and restores for multi-OS workloads in the cloud and multicloud environments.

5. Cloud Disaster Recovery, where workloads in the cloud are replicated to another cloud location or cloud platform for recovery in the event of disaster.

Benefit: Leverage the same StorSafe VTL software to replicate workloads in the cloud to another cloud location or cloud platform for simplified DR.
