Virtual Tape Library with Deduplication
10.0

Virtual Tape Library (VTL) with

Deduplication Storage Appliance
Manage explosive data growth while reducing the cost
of local storage, operations, & disaster recovery

The FalconStor® VTL with Deduplication solution replaces or enhances tape backup with disk-based backup
and integrated deduplication. By combining interfaces for NAS and VTL while increasing performance, it can
reduce capacity requirements, minimize costs, allow you to retain more data online longer while securing
data at rest, in flight, and from unwanted user access. Available as scalable, preconfigured turnkey appliances,
the FalconStor VTL with Deduplication solution offers fast, reliable local backup and restore, as well as
remote disaster recovery (DR) for data assurance. With features such as simplified, centralized management,
WANoptimized cascaded replication, and seamless tape integration, these appliances help you to meet
stringent service-level agreements (SLA) while enabling data growth management and cost containment.
