Tapes will never die. They are ideal for long-term vaulting
and are an absolute winner in the capacity/price competition versus any
disk storage.
But even being long lasting and cost-effective, tapes are
considerably slower compared to even commodity hard disks. As amounts of
data used by companies are constantly growing, tape backup speed
becomes a major vulnerability in modern BC and DR strategies. As soon as
a backup job exceeds its backup window, it starts consuming application
performance during business hours. The problem is solved by rebuilding
and extending the tape backup infrastructure, but it's extremely
cost-consuming. Or you can implement Virtual Tape Library to complement
physical tape storage.
Join StarWind Product Manager Max Kolomyeytsev and learn how to:
- Shrink backup window by implementing
Disk-to-Disk-to-Tape strategy using fast and cost-effective SATA as a
primary backup storage,
- Keep up with regulatory requirements without disrupting IT infrastructure work
- Replace physical tape with VTL completely
