Virtual Tape Library

FalconStor Virtual Tape Library (VTL) is the industry's market-leading virtual tape solution, unmatched in performance and scalability. With virtual tape, backups complete faster and more reliably, with little or no change needed to the backup environment. Your operations don't change. Your backups just get better. Sophisticated physical tape integration and data security complete the solution.

Designed from the start as an enterprise-class application, FalconStor VTL technology can achieve single node backup speeds of 1.5GB per second, or over 5TB per hour, allowing users to solve the single biggest issue in backup: meeting the backup window. Up to eight nodes can combine into a single logical unit, scaling performance to a remarkable 12GB per second, or 43TB per hour.

Built-in data deduplication dramatically reduces the amount of data needed to be stored on disk. Typical deduplication rates of 20 to 1 mean your storage footprint is reduced by 95% or more, allowing you to keep weeks or even months worth of data on disk for fast, dependable restore, without any of the reliability concerns of tape-based restore. Unique FalconStor technology ensures restores are rapid, without the often severe performance impact imposed by other deduplication solutions.

While deduplication can eliminate or greatly reduce the need for physical tapes, many organizations still require tape for long-term, offsite, or archival storage. The FalconStor VTL solution has the industry's most sophisticated integration with physical tape libraries, allowing you to directly export data to physical tape, leveraging the speed of the VTL without impacting your backup network.

The FalconStor VTL solution also supports small and remote office environments through storage appliances and small footprint virtual appliances.
