The solution allows accelerating backup and recovery processes by integrating on-premises backup infrastructure into a cloud object storage.

StarWind VTL is compatible with leading backup vendors including Veeam, IBM, Microsoft System Center, and uses industry-standard storage protocols, like iSCSI, for safe data transfer into Wasabi.
