Every company with multiple locations has the challenge of managing backup data across different sites, media types, and retention periods for short term protection and long term retention. View this webcast to learn about a new consolidated approach to solving this problem by combining disk, deduplication, and tape storage systems. 

Tape export is process of moving data from virtual tape to physical tape. Tape stacking allows multiple virtual tapes to be consolidated onto a single physical tape in order to save on tape media consumption. The concept is very simple and also very useful. Please watch this video for examples of how FalconStor VTL functions. 

Review the comparisons in this paper and learn the various ways that moving to disk-based backup and data protection solutions – as onsite software, SaaS or managed service – can be the smart move for your company. 

Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager 2007 is designed to provide continuous data protection for Windows-based servers, with additional features for business-specific Microsoft workloads such as SQL Server and SharePoint. 

Protecting data that is not in the primary datacenter amplifies all the traditional challenges of backup - either there is not enough bandwidth to accomplish a remote backup in the window available, or the process of handling and shipping tapes is in the hands of non-IT employees. 

This whitepaper describes how mainframe users can effectively switch from physical tape (or hybrid disk/tape) to a modern mainframe Virtual Tape solution with Data Domain deduplication storage. 

This whitepaper explores the limitations of tape and traditional disk-based approaches to disaster recovery. It highlights the advantages of deduplication technology in disk-to-disk backup and wide area network (WAN) replication. It also discusses the positive implications of deduplication for remote office backup and tape consolidation. 

Relying on tape backup for branch-office data protection is costly and risky. This white paper examines some of the strategies and technologies available for backing up remote or branch offices. 

IDC interviewed eight FalconStor customers that had deployed at least one or a combination of the following FalconStor storage management solutions: Virtual Tape Library (VTL), Network Storage Server (NSS), and Continuous Data Protector (CDP). All customers reported high levels of satisfaction.
