Spectra nTier700 VTL Overview

The Spectra nTier700 Deduplication VTL (referred to as the nTier700 VTL) uses
FalconStor

Virtual Tape Library (VTL) software to provide VTL and Single Instance

Repository (SIR) functionality in a single, preconfigured appliance. The nTier700 VTL
is available in the following configurations:

Spectra nTier700 v1000

—A single-blade configuration with 8 Terabytes (TB) of

RAID 6 storage providing a logical capacity of from 60 TB to 175 TB based on 10:1
and 30:1 deduplication ratios.

Spectra nTier700 v2000

—A two-blade configuration providing 16 TB of RAID 6

storage providing a logical capacity of from 140 TB to 415 TB based on 10:1 and
30:1 deduplication ratios.

Spectra nTier700 v3000

—A three-blade configuration providing 24 TB of RAID 6

storage providing a logical capacity of from 210 TB to 625 TB based on 10:1 and
30:1 deduplication ratios

This chapter provides an overview of the nTier700 VTL features and components.
