[Veritas-bu] Quantum's DXi Series of Dedupe Appliances
2011-02-13 12:06:22
We are a NetBackup shop looking to implement a disk based backup
infrastructure utilizing data deduplication, to evolve our tape
infrastructure to more of a secondary copy, archival media. For the
central data center at least we are leaning towards a deduplication
appliance solution. Of course we're taking a serious look at Data
Domain. Their Jan 18 announcement's performance numbers for the DD890
and the Global Dedupe Array are impressive.
I'm intrigued, though, by this lesser known player, Quantum. Their
DXi8500 certainly boasts more modest performance numbers does than the
DD890, but it has three features that catch my attention: 1) SAS drives;
2) Direct-To-Tape; 3) The options to inline, post-process or not dedupe
at all a segment of data.
I'd appreciate any comments from folks who run or have run a model from
Quantum's DXi series, as well as from anyone who evaluated them vs. Data
Domain. Thanks.
