We’ve been using two DDs for a year
now. Its deduplication/compression claims are valid. We use one for UNIX
backups and one for Linux backups.
We’ve had some challenges because we’d
intended to do fibre but found out the fibre options for DD are extra but got
left out of our original order. Due to that we’ve pushed most of our
traffic over GigE instead.
We recently bought a much larger DD with
an eye to moving our Production Oracle DB backup to it.

[Veritas-bu] Data Domain vs Quantum DXi
|
|
Thanks to the folks that commented on EMC's Avamar, it was
helpful.
I'm
curious now about DataDomain & Quantum DXi.
We
run XioTech SANs and they're bundling a DD960(something) head on to the XioTech
SAN.
We're
also using ADIC (now Quantum) for our Tape hardware. So those two bubbled up to
the top.
I'm
meeting with our Quantum sales & engineer guys on Monday to talk about it,
and I was watching a DD/XioTech webinar about their offering that looks cool.
Both look appealing.
I'm
curious for the dedup users out there what your experience has been with either
DD or Quantum.
I've
been poking through Curtis' blogs about the subject, so I get it that the
Quantum can do either inline or post, and the DD is pure inline. My RPO isn't
as critical (most of my users are happy with the prior night's data), so
PostProcessing isn't a game-changer.
Thanks,
~
Robin
