Technical Highlights
NetApp VTL System Software VTL OS v5.x with hardware compression (Note: VTL OS 6.x is no longer recommended for new deployments).
Standard Software Features Multiple virtual drives, multiple virtual libraries, built-in data mover for direct VTL-to-physical tape creation, Tape Smart Sizing, Shadow Tapes, and AutoSupport.
Hardware Features Dual-core processors, built-in hardware compression, 4 GB/s Fibre Channel ports onboard, full-duplex 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet management port, Compact Flash, redundant hot-plug cooling fans, redundant hot-plug power supplies, 19" rack-mount enclosure, optional 220V 42U 19" system cabinet.
RAID Protection VTL-RAID (single parity). For maximum data protection, all backups to the VTL should be copied to physical tape.
Hot Spares Drives User defined global hot spare drives.
Capacity Expansion Option DS14mk2 disk shelf with 1 TB SATA drives.

Notes
1 Specifications provided are based on lab testing of maximum configurations for compression cards, disk shelves and backend ports. Actual results for each customer environment will vary based upon a number of factors. Maximum performance and capacity are calculated using Base10 arithmetic (i.e. 1TB=1,000,000,000,000 Bytes) and data that compresses at a ratio of 2-to-1.
2 A VTL1400 is the equivalent of two, independent VTL700 systems.
3 VTL OS 6.x is a restricted access release and is no longer recommended for new deployments. Space savings from VTL deduplication will vary based on a number of factors and may not provide any benefits versus standard compression, depending upon the environment. Read performance for a system running VTL deduplication will also vary based upon a number variables.
4 Applies to VTL OS releases 5.6.2 and 6.0.3 and higher, only
5 Maximum in-use concurrent virtual drives equals the maximum number of simultaneous backup streams per system and can be affected by use case, configuration settings, and concurrent operations. Maximum values for the tape creation use cases assume that all virtual drives are cloning to physical tape drives concurrently.
