Dynamic Solutions International announced the availability of 8Gb Fibre Channel for its next-generation DSI9000 VTL offering featuring data de-duplication.

The DSI9000 Virtual Tape Library systems are scalable to fit the requirements of small businesses to enterprise-class cluster-based backup applications. The DSI9000 is part of an architecture featuring redundant components and an advanced  user interface.

In addition, the DSI9000 VTL family is for users considering either iSCSI/IP or Fibre Channel (FC) solutions, and integrates into any existing storage network - with standard features that allow a user to copy directly to backend tape and optional features that provide data de-duplication, encryption and replication functionality.
