VTL Backup Appliance Comparison
VTL backup appliance competitors like EMC Data Domain, ExaGrid, FalconStor, Quantum, Unitrends and HP Storage solutions don't match up to Cybernetics VTL backup appliances in comparison to price, performance, architecture, options, flexibility or scalability. Cybernetics Virtual Tape Library VTL systems allow you to simultaneously write data from any heterogeneous system to multiple disks in VTL backup appliance using your existing tape backup software, including IBM iSeries and Power systems. With up to 24 disk bays of VTL capacity and 4 GB/s speed, Cybernetics' Disk to Disk VTLs cut the biggest backup jobs into pieces (14 TB/hr). Restores from a Cybernetics VTL are near-instantaneous. Site-to-site Replication of deduplicated VTL backups to another device is extremely efficient and can be accomplished using minimum bandwidth. Powerful Post-Process deduplication of VTL data can fit 1 TB backups into 20GB of Virtual Tape Library disk space. Archive your backups from VTL to traditional tape or other devices without involving your servers, users or network. Encrypt your VTL disk, tape media and VTL replication process for complete security. A Cybernetics VTL provides the ultimate value in performance, flexibility, options and security at a price competitors can't touch. Many of our VTL customers that once had a 24+ hour tape backup, now takes less than an hour.
