Key Features

• Scalability: Data Domain VTL software eliminates tape-related failures by enabling all Data Domain systems to emulate multiple tape libraries and tape drives with up to 64,000 virtual slots across up to 250,000 virtual cartridges.
• Cost-Efficient Long Term Retention and Recoverability: Data Domain VTL software leverages 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: Data Domain VTL software is qualified with the leading enterprise backup software applications and IBM i operating environments for seamless integration. Data Domain also provides the additional flexibility of being able to use VTL and NAS interfaces simultaneously.
