32TB of deduped data, that's post process, which could be closer to 100TB in original data size assuming average file types. Thats still a lot of data per media server. Use a PureDisk pool and you ca
To all, I was hoping to get some feedback from the community on what type of VTL you guys use and if you would recommend looking into it. We currently have Copan and NetApp VTL. NetApp disbanded thei
