EMC Data Domain
Deduplication storage for data protection and disaster recovery

 
 

 

Today’s traditional disk backup systems go no further than providing a front-end to a tape library infrastructure with a fast cache, temporarily alleviating backup window problems.

EMC Data Domain has revolutionised disk backup and remote office data protection with patented high-speed, inline deduplication. Backup data can be reduced in size by an average of 10-30x, so disk backup storage is now cost-effective for long-term onsite retention and highly efficient for network-based replication for disaster recovery.

New features

DD Boost - speeds up backups by up to 50% (supports NetWorker, NetBackup & Backup Exec)
DD Encryption - provides encryption of data at rest on deduplication storage
DD Replicator - now includes one-to-many replication topology and low-bandwidth optimisation

DD Boost

Distributed segment processing
The backup server only sends unique data to the Data Domain system
20-40% less impact to the backup server and 80-99% less LAN bandwidth consumed

Managed replication
Allows backup applications to manage Data Domain replication

Advanced load balancing and link failover
Provides link aggregation for load balancing and link failover
Eliminates the need for Ethernet layer aggregation

Key benefits

Massive data reduction - inline deduplication delivers an average 10-30x data reduction
Increased reliability - for backups and restores compared to tape
High throughput and retention - provides fast restores and months of retention
Remote site protection - for disaster recovery and multi-site tape consolidation
Fully compatible - with leading enterprise backup and archiving applications
Flexible interfaces - virtual tape library (VTL), NAS (CIFS and NFS) and DD Boost
Advanced data integrity - continuous fault detection, healing and recovery verification

Key features

Data Invulnerability architecture - provides data integrity, verification and self-healing
SISL Scaling architecture - enables system throughput to scale with CPU performance
Replication - transfer of deduplicated data over the WAN with 99% bandwidth reduction
Global compression - high-speed inline deduplication and compression technology
