iShelter Online backup services for the enterprise business market, provides Virtual Tape Library (VTL) solutions, in addition to our online backup service. With our Virtual Tape Library Solution enterprise customers are able to discard their inadequate tape backup hardware, and move to a high speed iSCSI virtual library system.

That’s right, you heard us! Did your enterprise backups fail to complete because tapes need to be changed in the middle of the night, or because the tape loader drive went belly up, or you had more to backup than your backup window would allow? Those are problems of the past. With the iShelter VTL solution customers backup all their data to a high speed iSCSI hardware platform in a RAID configuration. No tapes to load, and no mechanical equipment to fail.

Our VTL solution is 10x faster than a traditional tape system. Since our VTL uses disks to backup data, it can write your files to drives much quicker than traditional tapes. Also, because the VTL solution can emulate more tape drives than a physical tape drive system, more backup streams can run simultaneously, enabling to easily complete even your largest backups within your allotted backup window.

Just like backing up, the restore process is much quicker than with a physical tape drive system. In a traditional tape system you have to physically find and load the tape or multiple tapes required to complete a restore. This process can be very time consuming. With our VTL solution all files are restored from the hard disk solution, no need to find tape sets, load them into the system, and wait for the tape loader to restore your files.

Just like our online service, iShelter can provide a complete high-speed offsite VTL solution for your enterprise. While your backups are being performed at your site by or VTL solution, your data is being replicated to our data center for offsite, secure data protection. If you have a catastrophic event at your site, don't worry we have all of your backups waiting to be restored!
