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.

We have been running Data Domain since last March, and it is working well.
we are getting bytes/storage used of 19.6  
We are not using VTL.

[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,
