If you use more than
one deduplication server per site, you will lose what is called “global
deduplication”. 37GB is a huge amount of storage for deduplication storage.
If you really need
more, the only solution is to go to Puredisk

According to the web
cast today
37tb is what NB7 can do
if you use client side dedup or media server dedup – per media server.
So you have a media
server using san disk (not dedup appliance) you can have up to 37 tb’s.
You can have more then
one media server be a dedup media server and each of them can hav 37tb’s

I believe that the
37TB is per any puredisk complex instance and is post dedupe. This is with the
lastest and greatest out this year.

We would use the Puredisk product similar to how we would use a
DD device, it would backend the Master/media servers as a backup
location. We need the environment to be able to cut some tape from the
backups that were written to the disk backup location. We will also need
the disk backup location to be able to replicate to another similar device at
another location; the important part of that replication is that the NetBackup
master needs to know about both of the copies.
At this point we won’t be using the NetBackup 7 dedup as it is
limited, it only does 37TB I believe?? Whereas the Puredisk or DD devices
can manage much more than that. Down the road, I’m thinking that I can use
the NetBackup 7 media server dedup to write dedup backups at our two small
sites and replicated to the puredisk cluster in our HO. I know I won’t be
able to do this with the DD device without buying two more small ones…so this
is why I’m wondering out Puredisk….
Thanks!

Clarify how you will
use puredisk and if you will use the standalone puredisk product or netbackup 7
deduplication option.
Then we can
talk….

I’m
wondering if anyone out there is writing backups though NetBackup 6.5.x Media
server to Puredisk? If so, what is your feedback? I’m wanting to
compare puredisk to a data domain device.
Thanks!
