What is IBM ProtecTIER?
ProtecTIER® is a disk storage solution that leverages data deduplication technology to optimize data management across disk arrays. With Feature Code 9022, it provides the ProtecTIER Virtual Tape Library (VTL) service, which simulates the operations of traditional automated tape libraries. Moreover, Feature Code 9024 enables the setup of a standalone TS7650G configured as FSI. A range of software applications can be utilized across various components and configurations of the TS7650G, which significantly enhances its adaptability. The ProtecTIER Manager workstation, supplied by the customer, operates the specialized ProtecTIER Manager software, offering a graphical user interface for effective management of the TS7650G system. By replicating the capabilities of conventional tape libraries, the ProtecTIER VTL service allows organizations to migrate to disk-based backup solutions effortlessly while maintaining their current backup systems. Additionally, existing backup software can leverage virtual robots to manage the transfer of virtual cartridges to and from their assigned virtual slots and drives, promoting an efficient workflow. This seamless integration ultimately leads to a more streamlined and effective backup strategy while ensuring high functionality remains intact. Furthermore, users can benefit from reduced backup times and improved data retrieval processes.

ArchiverFS
Introducing a file archiving solution tailored for servers and network storage systems, enabling the utilization of any device as a second-tier storage option.
ArchiverFS is compact yet powerful, offering features like cloud support, DFS replication, de-duplication, and compression. This versatile tool can be deployed on any NAS, SAN, or cloud environment to manage and archive older unstructured files. It allows for network sharing through a UNC path and can be formatted using NTFS. Unlike other solutions, ArchiverFS operates without a database for file storage, pointers, or metadata, relying solely on the straightforward capabilities of NTFS.
With ArchiverFS, you can efficiently transfer large volumes of outdated files from your primary first-tier storage to secondary storage, all while maintaining file attributes, permissions, and directory structures intact. Additionally, it provides the ability to create links that substitute for deleted files, including seamless symbolic links that replicate the appearance and functionality of the original files effortlessly. This makes the process of archiving not only efficient but also user-friendly.

StarWind VTL
StarWind VTL facilitates a shift from costly physical tape backup systems, allowing organizations to comply with data retention and archiving regulations through the use of on-premises Virtual Tape Libraries and integrated cloud and object storage tiering. To protect your backups from ransomware attacks, they can be stored in an "air-gapped" manner on virtual tapes. This solution offers the versatility to replicate and tier backups to any public cloud, leveraging industry-standard object storage for improved scalability, security, and cost-efficiency.
