Oops - meant to say we use one for UNIX/Linux backups and one for Windows backups.

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. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 07, 2008 9:36 AM To: Robin Small Cc: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Data Domain vs Quantum DXi 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. ---------------------------------- Carl Stehman Distributed Services Pepcoholdings, Inc. 701 Ninth St NW Washington DC 20068 202-331-6619 ------------------------------------ Robin Small <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/06/2008 08:15 PM To "VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu" <VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu> cc Subject [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.
