Virtual Tape Library is a well-proven and reliable technology allowing to significantly accelerate the backup process increasing the tape backup speed. It enhances the 3-2-1 backup rule with several significant benefits and provides seamless data protection against ransomware attacks.
While leading cloud storage providers deliver cost-effective object storage, such as Amazon S3 and Glacier, Azure Blob Storage, Google Nearline and Coldline, they don’t always provide a straightforward way to deploy and integrate their “cold” storage tier into a customer’s existing infrastructure.
Despite many vendors presenting different solutions for configuring cloud synchronization and managing backups, it is often a challenging task for the IT staff to properly select and deploy the required software or hardware and integrate the separate components into a single system.
Additionally, it is hard to find backup solutions with “smart” data de-staging for offloading backups, first, to the faster and more expensive storage tier and, then, to the slower and more cost-efficient one.
StarWind VTL for AWS and Veeam ultimately adds the cloud storage tier to the backup infrastructure ensuring compliance with the 3-2-1 backup rule. It provides effortless integration of the cost-efficient “cold” object storage without the need for installing several third-party software components.
StarWind VTL complements your current backup infrastructure. It creates an additional backup copy allowing to meet the regulatory requirements for having tape backups and significantly decreasing backup costs. The solution increases the backup process speed to avoid the overlapping of backup jobs with production time and ensures the stable performance of the system.
What is more, StarWind VTL for AWS and Veeam provides cloud deployment scenario, replacing expensive local storage with cost-efficient cloud storage like Amazon S3 and Glacier. StarWind VTL seamlessly integrates into existing backup infrastructure as a “fire and forget solution”. After the VTL device settings and retention policies are configured, the backups will be stored and automatically de-staged to cloud storage saving time and efforts of the IT staff.
StarWind VTL for AWS and Veeam conjoins with both performance and capacity optimized object storage like Amazon S3 and Glacier delivering significant benefits:

We are satisfied with StarWind. The support is really fantastic. Whenever any issue arises, the response is very prompt, and solution is immediate.
We were able to build 2-node storage clusters based on virtualization in 19 hypermarkets without any problems and with high cost-efficiency.
By being able to virtualize our environment with StarWind, we were able to retire some old hardware, get our services highly available, reduce power consumption and heat in our server closet.
StarWind got us off the clustered environment, which was a big help. So, I could regain control of my storage and reclaim and redistribute the space we desperately needed.
Price + Simplicity. StarWind vSAN offers great pricing and allows us to get work done without expensive custom hardware. It also makes getting back online quick and easy after an outage or hardware failure.
We chose StarWind Mainly because of the cost compared to other vendors. Simplicity of setup was also a major factor and I like the fact that you don’t need a vendor certified engineer to perform the installation.
Because of recommendations of older colleagues, with StarWind, we got a reliable storage with no additional hardware. There was a need to increase IT infrastructure performance and we saw StarWind as the most cost-effective solution.
StarWind is the best storage product I have ever used! It satisfies and exceeds requirements.
