Investigate FalconStor.  We just started using their VTL with SIR (single 
instance repository).  We purchased the VTL as software and put it on a server 
and storage of our choice.  Dedupe is global and there is a lot of flexibility 
in how to grow the storage.

Our problem with DD was that growth meant buying a big box to begin with or 
upgrading to a newer, larger box.  Since we wanted global dedupe, DD did not 
meet our requirements.

Subject: [Networker] DataDomain competitors

Hello NetWorker list. 

I am keen on your advice regarding deduplication devices for NetWorker backup 
environments. 

I am all into doing with DataDomain, both VTL and NFS ways. However, not to 
blindfold myself to much - are there any competitors, which could compare with 
DataDomain today?

I would appreciate any suggestions on other devices with similar or near 
functionality as DataDomain.

WKR
