RongCuo FTS virtual tape library (VTL) is a data storage virtualization technology used typically for backup and recovery purposes. RongCuo FTS VTL presents a storage component (usually hard disk storage) as tape libraries or tape drives for use with existing backup software. Virtualizing the disk storage as tape allows integration of VTL with existing backup software and existing backup and recovery processes and policies seamlessly. The benefits of such virtualization include storage consolidation and faster data restore processes.
RongCuo FTS VTL solutions use SAS/SATA disk arrays as the primary storage component. The use of array enclosures increases the scalability of the solution by allowing the addition of more disk drives and enclosures to increase the storage capacity. Rongcuo FTS VTL also eliminates streaming problems that often impacts efficiency in tape drives as disk technology does not rely on streaming and can write effectively regardless of data transfer speeds.
By backing up data to disks instead of tapes, Rongcuo FTS VTL increases performance of both backup and recovery operations significantly. Restore processes are found to be faster than backup regardless of implementations. While a traditional virtual tape library is fast for backup and restore, the disk storage within is not designed to be removable, and does not usually involve physically removable external disk drives to be used for data archiving in place of tape. Since the disk storage is always connected to power and data sources and is never physically electrically isolated, it is vulnerable to potential damage and corruption due to nearby building or power grid lightning strikes.
Rongcuo FTS VTL is specially designed to export virtual tape to RDX media for offline or remote site security in the industry.RDX is the industry standard for removable disk technology and has been adopted by all major system OEMs. RDX delivers the removability and durability of tape with the random access and performance of disk.
