Hello,
Can you detail your setup experience, architect to assimilate into 
networker any special procedures etc and also what is the performance of 
backups before and after as far as throughput compared to when it wrote to 
tape and or ADFTD.
How fast are your clones running, are you stressing the device  ?
What sort of performance monitoring comes native with the device & how 
expandable is the solution.
Thanks

Hi
Yes, we're using a DD580 (currently on trial).  Have been using it for 
about 3 months now and it's been absolutely brilliant.  Rock solid.

We're not using VTL's but as an ADV File type device then cloning to tape 
as required for odff-site storage. 
Compression is very good and we have a whole mix of data. 
I'm told it's especially good re compression with Oracle Databases, but 
that's the one thing we haven't been using it with.

Even on nightly incrementals, we're seeing 25+ times compression.

Hope we get to keep it ;-))

Cheers... Allan

Dear All,

My sales guy recommended to look at DataDomain device (disk based
appliance) as a possible replacement for the tape library.

Anyone is using datadomain devices? Could you share your experience 
please.

Thank you,
Aleksandr
