Products : Revolution 300T/TX - Virtual Tape Library (VTL)

300 T/TX Virtual Tape Library Advantages

80% Greater Efficiency in Power and Cooling
  • Superior Performance and Faster, More Reliable Backups and Restores
    More reliable backups and faster restores than automated tape libraries. Your data is better protected than with tape, with complete online access to all your critical data.
  • Seamless Integration into Existing Tape Environments
    Compatible with all leading software providers such as HP, IBM, Legato, Oracle, Symantec and more. Click here for a list of supported applications.
  • Breakthrough Scale and Economics
    Unparalleled capacities up to 8 PBs1 within a single chassis at prices that rival physical tape.
  • Power and Footprint Savings
    Patented Enterprise MAID saves up to 85% on power and cooling and offers up to 8 PBs1 of capacity in a 10 ft2 footprint.
  • Deduplication without compromise
    Post processing data deduplication with Single Instance Repository for MAID (SIR-M) ensures that backup windows are not impacted as with inline approaches. Additionally, data is deduplicated across all 896 TBs (8 shelves) of raw capacity to ensure the highest data reduction result. Deduplication can be performed on your schedule, when you want, allowing you the ability to keep a copy or copies of un-duplicated data if desired.
  • 95% Reduction in Bandwidth Requirements
  • Game changing replication
    Replicating with data deduplication provided by SIR-M can mean up to a 95% reduction of bandwidth required to transfer data electronically to remote data centers or disaster recover sites.
  • Multiple Personality Flexibility
    The 300T/TX can coexist with either Single Instance Repository, File Archiver or Native MAID. This flexibility enables customers to deploy multiple solutions within a single cabinet, saving footprint while meeting all business objectives.Breakthrough Scale and Economics.
  • Enterprise-class availability
    Automatic HA failover and SIR-M standby enables critical operations to keep functioning, even in the event of a hardware failure. Backups need not be interrupted, and space saving deduplication can keep on processing and not miss a beat with these two optional features.

Optional Features - Revolution 300T/TX

  • Export to Tape with Encryption
  • Electronic Data Replication with Encryption
  • ACSLS Support
  • NDMP Support
  • High Availability
  • Tape Caching
 

Optional Performance Features - Revolution 300T/TX

SIR-M Data Deduplication
Data Deduplication with Single Instance Repository for MAID (SIR-M) takes place post-processing across all 896 TBs (8 shelves) of raw capacity, ensuring that backup windows are not impacted and providing the highest data reduction result.
 

High-Performance Caching Module (HPCM)
The optional High Performance Caching Module provides a specialized landing zone for data to be deduplicated post-processing in environments where performance is a concern. The HPCM has a 60% higher performance than a standard 300T/TX shelf to further slash backup time requirements. Up to 64 Virtual Tape Drives are supported per rack controller. The HPCM offers 27 TBs of caching capacity per HPCM unit.

For a VTL system without SIR-M, up to six HPCMs are supported. With SIR-M implemented, up to four HPCMs are supported.

 

Backup Optimization

COPAN Systems' Revolution 300T/TX provides a robust backup/restore solution that gives you more reliable backups and faster restores than automated tape libraries. Your data is better protected than with tape, and you have complete online access to all your critical data. The 300T/TX delivers up to an industry-leading throughput of 5.2 TB/hour, which is ideal for customers with massive amounts of data who require higher performance levels. This enables IT organizations to meet increasing Recovery Time Objectives and Recovery Point Objectives.

  • Breakthrough environmental savings
    COPAN Systems was the first company to leverage the technical advantages of MAID Technology to create intelligent storage solutions at the enterprise level. We've taken the advantages of MAID – and Enterprised them – to create products that are truly unprecedented in the storage industry. With COPAN's application-driven, Enterprise MAID platform, only a maximum of 25% of the drives are powered on at any time. This platform was purpose built for the challenges of storing long-term data, and the infrequent access requirements of archive data. With COPAN Systems' MAID architecture, power and cooling savings of over 80% can be realized, dramatically reducing environmental operating costs.

  • Seamless Integration into Existing Tape Environments
    COPAN Systems' VTL products integrate seamlessly with your current backup/restore software, so there's no need to change or disrupt your storage infrastructure. The 300T/TX enables disk to emulate leading tape libraries, delivering the speed, reliability, and availability benefits of disk-based backup while allowing users to continue using existing tape backup software and procedures.

    The 300 series of products are compatible with leading backup software providers such as HP, IBM, Legato, Oracle, Symantec and more. Click here for a list of supported applications.

300 T/TX VTL Features that Simplify Storage Management

COPAN Systems' 300T/TX allows you to simplifythe daunting task of managing massive quantities of persistent data - with features that make data management a breeze.

  • Data Deduplication
    SIR-M data deduplication takes place postprocessing across the raw capacity, ensuring that backup windows are not impacted and providing the highest data reduction result.
  • Intelligent Replication
    Replicating with SIR-M deduplication can mean up to a 95% reduction of bandwidth required2 to transfer data electronically to remote data centers or disaster recovery sites.
  • Flexible Existence with Tape
    The 300T/TX also seamlessly coexists with physical tape. Tape caching, export to tape or your backup application's tape copy function, enables data to be moved to physical tape if desired.
  • Seamless Integration into Existing Environments
    COPAN Systems' VTL products integrate seamlessly with your current backup/restore software, so there's no need to change or disrupt your storage infrastructure.
