ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - (Business Wire) Dynamic Solutions International (DSI), a leading international provider of data storage solutions and comprehensive professional services for business and enterprises, announce the availability of version two (v.2) of the DSI9000 Virtual Tape Library (VTL) offerings for data backup and recovery. The DSI9000 v.2 VTL family provides attachment for a broader spectrum of platforms.
The DSI9000 is the third generation of virtual tape solutions brought to the market by DSI. Building on the strengths of previous VTL releases, the DSI9000 v.2 VTL is ideal for enterprise environments that want to implement a cost-effective disaster recovery solution, reduce the need for tape in the backup process, and increase the speed of backup and recovery. The DSI9000 v.2 VTL is a comprehensive solution that supports end-to-end high-speed connections, offers multi-streaming, multi-session backup capabilities, and connects to numerous backup servers and mainframes – thus streamlining the backup process and providing powerful features to ensure security and recovery.
In the mainframe computing environments like Unisys MCP and OS2200, having an integrated end-to-end solution brings many benefits the customer. For MCP, DSI offers its own host-based software for tape management and library management across an enterprise.
DSI offers the widest range of VTL’s based on the FalconStor software, supporting 256 up to 64,000 virtual tape volumes in a single node. Because the DSI9000 v.2 VTL family provides ANSI fibre channel (4Gb) attachment to mainframes and open systems alike, the same solution can now be implemented for the Unisys MCPvm, MCP, and OS2200 computing platforms while being shared with OpenVMS, UNIX, LINUX and Wintel open systems servers. The DSI9000 v.2 VTL family of products can support high-availability pairs with failover capability for highly demanding enterprises, or just a single appliance for the most modest needs.
"As the market changes and becomes more complex, IT professionals demand high performance backups, seamless integration, scalability and remote replication capability, among others,” said Chris Johnson, vice president of storage systems for DSI. “The product evolution of the company’s DSI9000 VTL is our natural progression and continuing commitment to offer innovative, competitive storage solutions for data backup and recovery at disk drive speed.”
Today’s enterprise data centers manage large heterogeneous environments, often with hundreds of servers running various operating systems and applications, driving petabytes of data. The DSI9000 v.2 VTL brings a wealth of new enhancements including data deduplication (at a single node or across an enterprise configuration), which reduces the burden placed on crucial backup and recovery operations, streamlining the complexity and improving time to access data.
Incorporating extensive certification with leading backup applications and tape libraries, the DSI9000 v.2 VTL enables true flexible heterogeneous support by being easily customizable for individual applications.
