DSI VTL Conductor - Managed Service Provider

DSI VTL Conductor integrates into your existing environment and Media Management Software (MMS), delivering automated, host-based policies that leverage all of the Virtual Tape Library’s (VTL) functionality without leaving the standard IBMi interface. Backup and recovery processes continue to function without additional workload or extensive training. VTL Conductor works alongside IBM’s BRMS to simplify the process of media duplication and/or archival activities, managing virtual or physical media for short and long-term retentions.

VTL Conductor can be used to manage an enterprise from a single server (when BRMS is in a network), as a stand-alone product on each server, or in any combination of these modes.

VTL Conductor is designed to automate media creation and inventory maintenance. It is able to automatically build/maintain new inventories “JIT”, recreates missing media, and recognizes and adapts-to changing inventory requirements.
