CHALLENGE
Before implementing StarWind Virtual Tape Library (VTL), Algenol Biotech had no reliable archival backup solution. Although the company had VTL of another vendor for a different backup solution with Microsoft Hyper-V on top, it was not satisfied with its functionality and price.
Algenol Biotech required a robust backup solution for a new network that would control the production part of the enterprise. Recognizing the urgency and importance of the situation, Algenol Biotech turned to StarWind VTL
StarWind VTL is super easy to use and configure, especially compared to the other VTL we were using.

It was easily integrated into the established backup and archival process of the company without any changes. In addition, StarWind VTL automated and secured offsite backup and archival by eliminating the human process, thereby determining the reliability of the backup process.
StarWind VTL provided the much-needed backup solution for the control network of Algenol Biotech’s manufacturing plant, ensuring data protection and integrity. The company foresees continued collaboration with StarWind, intending to leverage its solutions for future projects.
