Innitec cuts costs and improves data integrity and compliance by replacing its outdated HP physical tapes with StarWind Virtual Tape Library (VTL)

CHALLENGE

Before implementing StarWind Virtual Tape Library (VTL), Innitec faced challenges with managing a large and increasingly irrelevant storage system based on HP hardware tapes. The existing infrastructure was becoming inefficient and non- compliant with the company’s evolving data storage requirements. Previous attempts to address these issues required significant changes to the backup process, which would have increased costs due to new hardware, software licensing, and the need to train system engineers on the new infrastructure.

Innitec recognized the need for a software solution that could provide better IT infrastructure management and visibility.

StarWind VTL has provided us with better management and visibility without changing the existing backup infrastructure.

SOLUTION

Innitec selected StarWind VTL because it offered a seamless transition from hardware tapes to virtual tapes without requiring any changes to the existing backup process. By replacing the outdated physical tapes with a software solution, the company resolved the storage management and visibility issues.

By implementing StarWind VTL, the company avoided the costs and complexities associated with altering its backup infrastructure. It allowed for a smooth, cost-effective migration to a more efficient storage system while maintaining data integrity and compliance.
