VIRTUAL TAPE LIBRARIES DEFINITION (continued): … times and lower operating costs.
A special storage device manages less-frequently needed data so that it appears to be stored entirely on tape cartridges when some parts of it may actually be located in faster, hard disk storage. Virtual tape can be used with a hierarchical storage management (HSM) system in which data is moved as it falls through various usage thresholds to slower but less costly forms of storage media.
