Virtual Tape Archiving Library & Cloud-Based Backup Tape Solutions

Tape Migration: Virtualization

Tape Ark can virtualize your entire physical tape collection, and preserve your backups in a secure, highly redundant, low-cost Virtual Tape Library (VTL) cloud. For many years, a physical offsite backup was considered a viable solution for organizations that wanted to store any data stored on tape. Moving forward to today, advancements in technology have made this method of tape storage obsolete. Businesses across the world are realizing that migrating legacy tape from offsite backup storage vaults to the cloud is essential. Not only does it raise potential revenue opportunities, but also reduces the risk of exposure for organizations with sensitive data.

Benefits of backing up tape to the cloud

There are many benefits to storing backup tapes to the cloud as opposed to an offsite backup facility. A Virtual Tape Library (VTL) offers the simplest replacement for physical tape archiving and is flexible, easy to manage and reliable, offering lower latency, and enhanced performance. By shifting your backup tape to a VTL, you are also able to remove expensive and no longer necessary hardware and software from your infrastructure.
