FalconStor Virtual Tape Library (VTL) 7.5, available as software, an appliance or virtual machine

FalconStor Virtual Tape Library (VTL) 7.5 allows customers to tailor deduplication processes to the needs of their environment.

The product offers several deduplication options, including inline, concurrent and post-processing or no deduplication. They can be deployed in multiple configurations to match types of data and available storage.

Users can deploy Turbo deduplication with post and concurrent processing, reducing input/output (I/O) cycles. In performance tests of a four-node cluster configuration, the product demonstrated the sustained deduplication speeds of more than 28 TB/h with inline deduplication and more than 40 TB/h with post processing.

Symantec Open Storage Technology (OST) .Next allows up to two million backups in an eight-node cluster.

The product allows expansion of data repository nodes, lowering the cost of initial storage investment while providing capacity to grow with business demands.

Security options include extended Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), tape-shredding functionality, full replication encryption and the addition of Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) support for government agencies.

The product is available as software only, a fully configured appliance or a virtual machine.
