Dynamic Solutions International (DSI), a provider of data storage offerings, has released its latest generation of Virtual Tape Library (VTL) product offering, DSI9003 version 2.1, for data backup and recovery.
According to DSI, the version 2.1 comes with a broad array of redundant components and an advanced user interface, and leverages inbuilt high speed disk to provision virtual tape drives to backup servers that are attached to an iSCSI/IP or FC storage area network (SAN).
The company claims that the version 2.1 is certified with leading backup applications to maximise compatibility and ensure fast, seamless deployment.
It also offers standard features that allow a user to copy virtual tape volumes directly to backend tape and optional features to provide data de-duplication, encryption and replication functionality.
DSI said that all DSI9003 VTL products use 4Gb FC and iSCSI attachment, GUI partitioning and management. The DSI9003 series begins with the DSI9253-V, offering 5Tb to 9Tb of uncompressed raw storage, and up to 8,000 virtual tape volumes, while next in the series is the DSI9303-D appliances, starting from 12Tb of raw storage and grow-able 48Tb of uncompressed raw capacity, and is an ‘all-in-one’ VTL with optional data-de-duplication.
Chris Johnson, vice president of storage systems at DSI, said: "DSI continues its commitment of offering customers high performance and optimum recovery that is secure and seamlessly integrates into existing backup systems.
"With data de-duplication, backend tape copy, encryption, replication and scalability options that are unmatched by any other disk-based appliance in its class, our new version of the DSI9000 VTL exceeds the requirements of data-intensive operations for a high speed, tape-free backup."
