New Software Makes Managing Backup Tapes Easier than Ever Before.
NEEDHAM, Mass. - May 3, 2005 - B&L Associates, Inc., a leader in data center operation support software, today announced the launch of VaultLedger® - the easiest-to-use tape management software solution on the market.
VaultLedger helps manage all the removable media in an enterprise including tape storage cases and containers-both on-site and off. Its intuitive Web-based interface is accessible anytime and from virtually any computer, providing companies unprecedented control over all their backup tapes.
The launch of VaultLedger follows the success of Vertices®, B&L's comprehensive tape management system for both open and legacy systems.
"We had some customers who told us they needed a more basic tape management system. These companies simply wanted to track tapes to and from their off-site locations," said Michael Kramer, B&L's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "With its easy-to-use, calendar-based tape management system, VaultLedger is the perfect solution."
VaultLedger's easy set-up and user-friendly features makes it the most convenient tape management system B&L has ever offered.
- A Web-based interface allows users to access VaultLedger from virtually any computer
- Optional remote hosting feature means there's no software to install
- Users have unprecedented control over the data within their own database
- Bar-code scanning technology makes inputting and reconciling action lists lightning-quick
- Automatic recording of all tape information ensures absolute accuracy
- A Quicken®-like reconciliation report helps you easily reconcile on- and off-site inventories
Adding to its flexibility, B&L designed VaultLedger to work hand-in-hand with today's most popular backup systems such as VERITAS NetBackup & Backup Exec, LEGATO NetWorker, Tivoli Storage Manager, CA ARCserve, HP Data Protector, Syncsort Backup Express and BakBone NetVault. VaultLedger also works with legacy tape management systems such as CA-1®, RMM and BL/LIB®.
