StarWind VTL helps businesses move beyond their costly physical tape backup processes without sacrificing regulatory data archival and retention requirements thanks to on-premises Virtual Tape Libraries with cloud and object storage tiering. Protect your backups from ransomware by keeping them “air-gapped” on virtual tapes. Replicate and tier your backups to any public cloud and use any industry-standard object storage for flexible scalability, as well as maximized security and cost-efficiency.
