Bus-Tech Virtual Tape Library Family (VTL)

Bus-Tech's "tape-on-disk" technology provides affordable alternatives to datacenter managers which improve RTO and RPO over tape based alternatives, while eliminating risks associated with tape media.

Virtual tape products for the mainframe have improved the performance of the tape libraries by using disk caches to front-end tape libraries. This has proven effective in shrinking backup windows. Off-site recovery often relies on transporting tape cartridges to an alternate site. The resulting RTO and RPO remain high and include the risks of lost, stolen and unreadable tape media. Tape-based solutions remain challenged to satisfy the demanding business continuity objectives for customer critical operational data.
