Virtual Tape Libray - 300T/TX Platform Highlights

• Breakthrough Scale and Economics
  COPAN’s industry leading MAID capacity, now coupled with Single Instance Repository for MAID (SIR-M) provides unparalleled capacities up to 8 PBs¹ within a single chassis at prices that rival physical tape. This "data center in a frame" can meet the data protection requirements of even large enterprises.
  
  
• De-duplication without compromise
  Post processing de-duplication with SIR-M ensures that backup windows are not impacted as with inline approaches. Additionally, data is de-duplicated across all 672 TBs (6 shelves) of raw capacity to ensure the highest data reduction result. De-duplication 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.
  
  
• Game changing replication
  Easily comply with offsite storage requirements. Replicating with SIR-M can mean up to a 95% reduction of bandwidth required to transfer data electronically to remote data centers our disaster recovery sites. Now, replication no longer requires either compromising time or security by trucking tapes, or living with unreliable restores due to faulty, lost or mislabeled media. The 300 VTL also seamlessly co-exists 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.
  
  
• Multiple Personality Flexibility
  The 300 VTL can co-exist 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.
  
  
• 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 de-duplication can keep on processing and not miss a beat with these two optional features.
  
  ¹ Depending on Dedupe Ratio

The 300 Platform takes full advantage of all of COPAN Systems' technologies:

• Enterprise MAID
• DISK AEROBICS® Software
• POWER MANAGED RAID® Software

Backup Optimization

• Superior Performance and Faster, More Reliable Backups and Restores
  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 300 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 75% 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.
