ntegrating a Virtual Tape Library (VTL) into your storage infrastructure can bring several benefits, especially if you require robust data protection, archival solutions, or you have to deal with legacy systems that rely on tape backups. The steps that you need to follow before you can go about integrating a VTL into your storage environment are assessing your needs, choosing a VTL solution, preparing for integration, deploying the VTL, testing, implementation & management, documentation & training and continual evaluation. Integrating a VTL into your storage box is a project that involves careful planning and execution.
