Jo Kohlmorgen ensures the reliable operation of Veritas backup training environments by building a backup infrastructure with StarWind Virtual Tape Library (VTL)

CHALLENGE

Before deploying StarWind Virtual Tape Library (VTL), Jo Kohlmorgen needed a virtual tape library solution for its Veritas backup trainings, where each participant operates a dedicated virtual environment on specialized hardware connected through a 1 GbE classroom network. The solution had to be reliable enough for repeated training scenarios.

However, available VTL offerings either required extensive expertise to configure and maintain or lacked the functionality needed to support the company s educational environment efficiently. This made them unsuitable for fast course preparation and hands on backup exercises.

StarWind Virtual Tape Library works out of the box.
