Hi Liddle, Are you satisfied with this equipment? Are you using compression enabled? What performance are you obtaining? How many TB are you writing daily? Why do you choose Netapp? We are looking fo
Juan, It's Stuart (Liddle is my last name) Yes, we are satisfied with the equipment No....not using compression (tape optimization) on the VTL, because we are doing compression when we go to physical
There are many VTLS on the market. And usually come at a steep price. Note you are actually purchasing disk at a premium prices with limited expandability. Adding cheap linux mediaservers with cheap
I agree with Jim. Inexpensive disk used along with disk staging and some tape is a much better value than buying a VTL that will emulate a robot and drives. Before you buy a VTL you really need to as

VTL are expensive, however the limits I would disagree. We have a Sepaton (70+ Tb of usable - note not RAW) and I believe the limits on the Sepaton is in Petabytes. Disk Staging is a nice concept, ho
Juan, I would have to agree with John Howard on this. We looked at VTL for our backup environment but before we could see where to put it. We asked ourselves what problem(s) are we trying to solve. I

I guess this begs the question to the audience and the people that have put in VTL's ... what problems does a VTL solve that D2D can not? I think the list so far is: 1. Administration is easier 2. Po

Some VTL products' de-duplication technology is eons beyond compression, with low level pattern matching, etc, etc, enabling upt to 25:1 effective "compression". VTL allows you to pool disk on a sing

Advantage on Data domain is very fast restores. You can also configure it with SSO. and share between media servers. So you can backup and duplicate from the same VTL on multiple media servers. Blain

But why would you have to? Just create more virtual drives on the VTL, and give each media server its own drives. Save some cash on SSO licenses, and buy more disk. ;o) Paul -- -- next part -- == La
You might want to in order to do database refreshes by restoring one machines database backup to another's database. We currently do that with tape using the FORCE_MEDIA_RESTORE option in our SSO set
