FalconStor VTL leverages industry standard high-speed disk to provision virtual tape drives and libraries to backup servers attached to an iSCSI/IP or Fibre Channel (FC) storage area network (SAN), without the need to change existing backup software configurations and therefore preserving the investment in backup policy and IT staff's operating knowledge.
