Why Companies look at VTLs

Tape Drive

Backup Job

Backup jobs not completing?

Tape drive utilisation low?

Tape drive quality problems?

Aggressive recovery time objectives (RTO)?

High operating costs of nearline infrastructure? © by Sophie Graf

Best economy of scale Best medium for long term archiving Most energy efficient way of storing data Less error prone than disk

52% of disk & tape users plan to increase tape usage* 13% decrease of disk only systems in 2007* 58% of disk only users plan to start using tape* © by Sophie Graf
