Check out this new technical paper from StarWind Software which provides information on how to deploy StarWind Cloud VTL and configure the integration with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).

StarWind Virtual Tape Library (VTL) is a feature of StarWind Virtual SAN that eliminates the need for the physical tape by emulating industry-standard tape hardware and keeping all data on inexpensive, fast and high-capacity spinning disks. It is designed for SMB and Enterprise that either look to get rid of physical tapes completely or are willing to accelerate the backup process and add an extra level of protection. Even with explosive data growth, StarWind VTL fits the backup job into reasonable time-frame by accelerating it, so the process does not overlap with production time.

This guide is intended for experienced StarWind users, Windows system administrators and IT professionals who would like to configure StarWind Virtual SAN solution. It provides step-by-step guidance on how to create the VTL device and configure replication with Amazon Web Services.
