You mean like the legacy file pools with deduplication and identify duplicates running? Or are you referencing storage arrays that can compress and dedup like Pure or other vendors do?Hi,
does anyone has some experience with using other means of reducing data in TSM storage pools than TSM container pools? Like doing it with backend storage dedup/compression capability, or even with some file system utilities (latest redhat maybe, or other)?
Hi,Hi,
If you precompress data client side, whatever storage is not going to do any data reduction. We have about 25 - 35% reduction due to compression. Nice reduction on license cost.
If you encrypt data client side, whatever storage is not going to do any data reduction whatsoever. Compress, then encrypt clientside works nicely. Watch cpu usage .......
Sending data without compression will add lots of data to your license cost, bandwidth usage goes up.
Finding a storage that will compress/dedup is not going to be cheap either.
Have a look at your license model, your data being backed up and a few possible storage vendors. Some excel charts, and you have a solution.
I know, not a solution, but some key points to look at.
