BANGALORE: Hitachi Data Systems, a provider of application optimised storage solutions and wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi Ltd, on Tuesday introduced virtual tape library (VTL).
"VTL is a new approach to optimised data back-up and protection made available through a global re-seller agreement with Diligent TM Technologies", a Hitachi release said.
As part of Hitachi's application optimised storage solutions approach, which matches specific application requirements with storage attributes, the new solution comprises scalable enterprise-class offerings that emulate tape libraries, enabling existing backup applications to use disk, rather than tape, as their backup medium, it said.
"This VTL solution for both mainframe and open systems environments allows customers to enjoy all the advantages of disk-to-disk backup without having to make changes to their existing backup environment, policies, or procedures with a lower total cost of ownership than conventional tape library technology", Hitachi said.
Featuring diligent's ProtecTIER VT with HyperFactor data de-duplication technology, this VTL solution eliminates redundant data while maintaining 100 per cent data integrity radically reducing physical storage needs by up to 25 times or more, the company claimed.
