Solution Overview

Abacus Solutions' iSeries Virtual Tape Library (VTL) provides a complete back-up solution that speeds up back-ups, facilitates rapid recovery, enhances security, and simplifies data movement all while reducing total costs of operation.

The Abacus VTL precisely emulates the same tape libraries and formats recognized by your existing servers, so replacing a physical tape library with a virtual library doesn’t change anything about how back-up operations are run. Existing back-up and software tools work the same way. But because a VTL can accept far more data streams than a physical library, more jobs can run at the same time. The Abacus iSeries Virtual Tape Library can simultaneously support backups from multiple systems and multiple back-up software.
