Last week, eWeek published an article reviewing Data Domain systems, focusing on our ease of deployment and capabilities for disaster recovery:
Data Domain Leads Growing List of Deduplication Vendors
The testing included using Data Domain OpenStorage Software, which allows NetBackup 6.5 to manage our WAN-efficient replication process. The article also notes real-world performance of 300-500 MB/s on our DD690 systems.
In my last post, I spoke about the "ahh-ha" moment that I had as a customer of Data Domain. Throughout my time in the field, I found that this was a common experience for many of our customers as well. Reading through the article, it would seem that the author, Matt Sarrel, was able to grok things as well:
"Given the amount of data required to maintain business continuity across a multi-location enterprise, traditional backup methodologies are being stretched to and even beyond their limits...(Data Domain) is capable of not only removing these limits, but also shattering them in such a way that you’ll rethink (and enhance) current business continuity processes."
Perhaps you've had your own "ahh-ha" moment with deduplication - post a comment, I'd love to hear about it.
