FalconStor STORSAFE VTL – Product Brief

FalconStor StorSafe Virtual Tape Library (VTL) is the next generation of FalconStor’s VTL product offering and architecture.

StorSafe emulates physical tape libraries, writing to a disk system (typically either SAN or object) to deliver tape-based backup and archives at a faster speed. It is software-defined, meaning that it does not have dependencies on specific underlying hardware and is deployable on industry-standard servers or VMs located on-premises or in the cloud. Users can customize hardware configurations without vendor lock-in, and an independent upgrade path allows compute, storage, conductivity, and application software to be updated flexibly as needed.

In being a VTL, StorSafe presents as an industry-standard physical tape library over iSCSI or Fibre Channel to on-premises disk arrays and on-premises object storage solutions. For air-gapping and long-term retention purposes, data can be exported to physical tape systems, or it can be automatically tiered to cloud object storage targets hosted by managed service providers (MSPs) or public cloud providers (Amazon, IBM, Microsoft, Wasabi) through FalconStor’s Secure Data Containers capability. The solution supports a number of data protection software offerings, including IBM i Backup, Recovery & Media Services (BRMS) for modernization purposes.

StorSafe can scale from a single VM to up to nine servers. For high availability (HA), the solution can be deployed in two active-active pairs, with a witness node for a 4+1 HA cluster. Per FalconStore, backup speeds of up to 40TB/hour per node, for performance of up to 160 TB/hour in a four-node configuration. To further support data availability, data can be continuously replicated to a twin StorSafe array.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
