So, how does de-duplification fit into this?  Is the capacity based on how much 
is backed up (when calculated at the client)?  Or is it by how much space it 
takes up?  Actually, I'm wondering that same thing for AFTDs.

 

Thanks.

Teresa

The 7.4 release has a real VTL license, based on capacity, 10TB base, 10TB and 
25TB additions. There is also a special storagenode license available for 
Clariion Disk Library. Prior to 7.4, customers got 3 x Unlimited Autochanger 
Licenses when licensing VTLs, even after introduction of the mentioned capacity 
based model.

Essentially you can get disk to disk backup speeds, and can do dynamic drive
sharing. Of course, you do loose the ability to read and write at the same
time, that you get from an advanced file type device.
 
With the latest versions of NW you can use the processors inside the EDL
(new name for the CDL) as a storage node to do the cloning/migration to tape
for you.
 
7.4 has new licensing for VTL's - watch out for that.

        Hi, I am new to the use of VTL (clariion disk) and I would like to know 
what
        the benefits of using the VTL are over using Advanced Disk Device.
          Also, is there such thing as staging on a VTL? If not then what is 
the best
        way to free up disk space when it is full - is it cloning to tape and 
then
        re-labeling the virtual media.
           
          Any examples of how you are using VTL and managing the media would be
        appreciated.
           
          Regards, Mark
