The xSTREAM VTL File Storage System

The xSTREAM VTL File Storage System accelerates the speed and reliability of both restore activities and backup operations compared to traditional tape-based applications or even other virtual tape-based backup solutions. With xSTREAM VTL, current back-up servers see this fully configured disk-based solution as a tape device, so current processes and backup applications remain intact. Data de-duplication technology ensures that multiple copies of the same file or data block do not consume job time or capacity. xSTREAM VTL's high performance throughput devours backup jobs quickly, whether from local backup servers or consolidating jobs from remote locations. This solution leverages S2A Extreme Storage to massively scale up to 1.2PB to achieve full tape replacement or migrate completed backup data to existing tape resources.
