That’s what we use, also a central bank, (Canada). Don’t have as many remote sites to deal with like the original poster to deal with though so not really
appropriate unless you bring all those arrays back centrally.
How I’d see it working is that you’d have client-side dedupe enabled on all your remote clients, your media server(s) would be hosted centrally receiving
all those deduped data bits, and your backup target would be the Protectier VTL, which would be replicated to a secondary site for DR.
Since you already have remote storage though, not really applicable. Data Domain is the way to go.
Cheers,
Jon

try using IBM Data protectier TS76750G , this is a new appliance from IBM , it combines the feature of VTL with inline deduplication . Depulication works on Hyperfactor technology.

[Veritas-bu] Best architecture for deduplication with NetBackup
|
|
Jcs, I work at a government agency, Brazil's Central Bank, like the US FED. I can't just choose the solution I want to buy. I need to specify what I need and wait for the best (lower price) proposal that fits what we need.
So I'm doing some PoCs so I can know the players, what features they have and what then don't.
So far I've tested the EMC Avamar, IBM Fastback (which doesn't fit) and CommVault Simpana.
The EMC Avamar seems to be the one that best fits our needs.
Now we are trying to test the NetBackup but its documentation is really confusing.
We bought the Clariions to store the backup data. That's why I'm don't want do buy storage appliances unless the prices aren't to much different as you said.
-- ORIGINAL MESSAGE --
If you're of a size to consider this seriously, you can afford the
appliances. Especially since the cost will not be a complete shock when
compared next to comparable NBU functionality licensing.
Data Domain just *works*. No futzing. Point a media server at it,
configure replication, done. It really *is* that simple.
Having said that, Your message doesn't quite make clear why your desire
to stay with NBU as the core for this is so strong, but ... from your
description, this is actually a situation where EMC's Avamar could
possibly be the best solution overall.
<ObDisclaimer: Just a satisfied customer. Who tried, and hated, NBU
Dedupe, especially when compared to DD.>
Regards,
jcs
