Data Domain Virtual Tape Library (VTL) Software

High-Speed Inline Deduplication for SAN Environments

Data Domain Virtual Tape Library (VTL) software emulates multiple tape libraries over a Fibre Channel interface and seamlessly integrates with the existing backup infrastructure to enable cost-efficient long term retention on disk and more reliable, high-speed recoveries of backup data.

Key features include:

• Scalability: The Virtual Tape Library (VTL) software eliminates tape-related failures by enabling all Data Domain systems to emulate multiple tape libraries and tape drives with up to 10,000 virtual slots across up to 100,000 virtual cartridges.
• Cost-Efficient Long Term Retention and Recoverability: The VTL software benefits from Data Domain core technologies such as Global Compression™ and Data Invulnerability Architecture. These deliver high capacity and highly reliable data recovery at lower costs than other leading VTL systems.
• Network-Efficient Disaster Recovery: Using Data Domain Replicator software, virtual cartridges can be vaulted over the wide area network (WAN) to another site for disaster recovery, remote office data protection and multi-site tape consolidation.
• Easy Integration with Existing Infrastructure: The Data Domain VTL is qualified with the leading enterprise backup software applications for seamless integration. Data Domain also provides the additional flexibility of being able to use VTL and NAS interfaces simultaneously.
