We're purchasing Data Domain. Looks like a great product. We're currently using Quantum's dedupe product, but it is not meeting our needs. To upgrade it to the comparable Data Domain equivalent would be more expensive than ripping out Quantum and going with Data Domain. The cost for us was a huge factor. We are also going through a consolidation. We are going to use Data Domain to dedupe and then replicate the data from our remote sites to our new HQ. (Quantum can do this as well.)
Sorry I can't give you an current experience with it. My understanding though, is that Data Domain is the best in the business (and this actually comes from the engineer of the company who is trying to sell us the Quantum solution.)
