StarWind VTL (Virtual Tape Library) replaces physical tape libraries with software-defined storage, offering a seamless, ransomware-proof backup solution. It uses tape emulation with high-capacity disks and integrates perfectly with cloud storage. The VTL solution ensures that data backed up using traditional tape-based software can be easily tiered to the cloud. By connecting with Impossible Cloud, StarWind provides a cost-efficient, immutable, and S3-compatible European destination for long-term data retention and compliance.
