Teradactyl Enterprise Backup Solutions for Key Market Segments


True incremental Backup System solutions.Teradactyl LLC. is a leading provider of enterprise network backup systems. Our patented synthetic backup consolidation is typically deployed as a Disk-to-Disk-to-Tape (D2D2T) solution. Data is copied from its original disk location on a backup client to a disk backup cache on a backup server. Completed backups are then spooled to tape, directly from the backup cache, resulting in better throughput and improved compression ratios. TiBS can process any number of backup clients in parallel, independent of the number of available tape devices. Our optional Automated Tape Library Interface (ATLI) module controls robotic tape libraries. For extended storage of backups to disk, TiBS has a Disk Library Interface (DLI) module. The DLI also allows TiBS to run without tape, providing a Disk-to-Disk (D2D) solution. The ATLI and DLI modules are available for all versions of TiBS.


Teradactyl serves a wide variety of commercial operations including companies involved in geographic search and referencing, nano technology, space mission development and defense systems. TiBS has the flexibility to manage data granularity and retention according to the policies of these diverse industry channels.  Data within a single TiBS backup server can be segmented to conform to particular operational polices as set by management.  Learn many more reasons why these large industry competitors have made the switch to the True incremental Backup System.
