Data domain also has a limit to the amount of data one of their units can track but its fairly high. If you need more than 32TB of deduped data in PD you do need to deploy a seperate puredisk environment. Then PD just splits the hash space into chunks and stores data on whichever node it hases to. I'm not sure what their upper limit is but it can scale quite high also.
