NetApp VTL

Enterprise-Level Performance and Storage Efficiency

As data levels grow and backup windows shrink, traditional tape-based backup can't keep pace. To get ahead of business requirements for data protection, you need a solution that boosts performance and reliability without adding complexity. NetApp® VTL can help.

Purpose built for data center needs, NetApp VTL with deduplication delivers an industry-leading combination of performance, scalability, and integration. NetApp VTL makes intelligent disk appear as tape, enabling:

• High-speed backup and restore
• Cost efficiency and scaling up to 10 PB
• Faster, more efficient tape creation and disaster recovery
• Simplified management, implementation, and scaling
