NetApp Virtual Tape Library

Enterprise-Level Performance and Storage Efficiency

As data levels grow and backup windows shrink, traditional tape-based backup can't keep pace. To get ahead of business requirements for data protection, you need a solution that boosts performance and reliability without adding complexity. NetApp® VTL can help.

Purpose built for data center needs, NetApp VTL with deduplication delivers an industry-leading combination of performance, scalability, and integration. NetApp VTL makes intelligent disk appear as tape, enabling:

• High-speed backup and restore
• Cost efficiency and scaling up to 10 PB
• Faster, more efficient tape creation and disaster recovery
• Simplified management, implementation, and scaling

Because NetApp VTL is built on 100% NetApp technology and a common platform, you gain simplicity, investment protection, and enterprise support built on years of primary and secondary storage expertise.

NetApp VTL Specifications1, 2	VTL300	VTL700	VTL1400
Max. sustained throughput
Deduplication enabled	1.5TB/hr	2.1TB/hr	4.3TB/hr
Standard compression3	2.3TB/hr	4.1TB/hr	8.2TB/hr
Max. usable capacity	55TB	275TB	550TB
Max. virtual capacity4	1 PB	5 PB	10 PB

¹ Max. performance and capacity are calculated using Base10 arithmetic (1TB=1,000,000,000,000 bytes).
² Performance and capacity specifications listed may require options not included with the base system configuration.
³ Assumes that deduplication is disabled and that data is compressible at 2:1.
⁴ Assumes deduplication at 20:1.
