Virtual Transport Manager (VTM) software |
| |
| When
coupled with StorageTek® StorageNet® 6000 (SN6000)
storage domain manager, Virtual Transport Manager (VTM)
software enables reliable shared backup/recovery
implementation for open systems enterprises. Users
can share their tape device assets across all of
their UNIX and NT hosts, and across multiple backup
applications. This allows users to back up and
restore their data across the constantly changing
combination of servers, storage and software. |

|
Applications |
Disaster recovery
The SN6000 with Virtual Transport Manager
software plays an integral part in site-wide
disaster recovery processes by improving the
performance and efficiency of the backup and
restore element of disaster recovery plans. |
Backup and restore
The SN6000 with Virtual Transport Manager (VTM)
software enables multiple backup applications to
share tape assets, consolidating Open Systems
backup and restore across a data center or an
enterprise. Costs are reduced and
enterprise-wide data protection is more readily
managed. |
|
| |
|
Benefits |
Business continuity
VTM software provides a non-disruptive
technology, heterogeneous platform support,
centralized management and administration,
reduced infrastructure costs and high data
availability. It’s easy to upgrade without
affecting other parts of the network.
|
Productivity gains
Using a single point of control, VTM software
provides highly efficient management of data
storage resources by delivering an effective
combination of utilization, reliability and
scalability. Using shared transports means less
equipment is needed, and there is no need to
reconfigure the server environment. |
Investment protection
Staff time required for maintenance and
administration is greatly reduced with VTM
software’s simplified configuration. All growth
can be accommodated with your existing staff.
Conventional SAN costs are significantly reduced
when using pooled resources. |

Features |
Tape drive utilization
Tape drive utilization is increased dramatically
because fewer tape drives are needed. With
shared tape pooling, higher performance tape
drives are used and make the tape environment
easier to manage. |
Data availability
Downtime for applications is minimized because
they are isolated from storage administration
and configuration. |
