Why Companies look at VTLs
Backup jobs not
completing?
Tape drive utilisation low?
Tape drive quality
problems?
Aggressive recovery time
objectives (RTO)?
High operating costs of
nearline infrastructure?

… But Tape is Still Important
Best economy of scale
Best medium for long term archiving
Most energy efficient way of storing data
Less error prone than disk
52% of disk & tape users plan to increase
tape usage*
13% decrease of disk only systems in 2007*
58% of disk only users plan to start using
tape*
