Power Virtual Server VTL Overview

The DSI RESTORE VTL solution on PowerVS is designed to follow a well-established architecture that is used by many IBM i customers today on-prem. Most IBM i customers today use some form of tape to backup up their solution and traditionally that is attached via Fibre Channel. These appliances are hardware solutions that integrate software, servers, and storage. For the PowerVS solution, it was decided to try to replicate the on-prem solution by providing a SW VTL appliance that can be dynamically provisioned in the IBM Cloud.
