Ultera's innovative Virtual Tape Library (VTL) based
solutions target the need of businesses to more efficiently protect rapidly
expanding
critical data. The Mirage™ line of virtual tape controllers utilizes cost
effective RAID systems to deliver high performance, reliable VTL
solutions for companies of all sizes.
 The Mirage Virtual Tape Controller (VTC)
utilizes disk storage devices to create a hard drive based
Virtual Tape Library (VTL) that operates transparently with
existing tape backup application software on any hardware
platform or operating system. Mirage-based VTL solutions may
be configured using one or more Mirage VTCs to offer
seamless scalability and meet the performance and capacity
requirements of any backup, data management or disaster
recovery application.
The Mirage-based VTL appears to backup
management software as if it was a conventional tape library
operating in random tape library or sequential
stacker/autoloader mode. The VTL emulation is built-in for
plug and play compatibility; no special drivers are
required.
Mirage-based VTL delivers immediate
performance improvements to backup, restore and archival
applications. It supports investments already made in tape
drives, libraries, RAID equipment and application software.
Mirage enables users to keep their current configuration in
place, with no hardware, software, procedural or policy
changes.
