I guess Data domain with DDBoost, would be good to go, and this will require minimal changes to the existing enviornment. Try to go through the white papers about Networker integration with Data domain. That will be provide more information.

Depends on the available bandwidth between the two locations. We got DD and are now wishing to have gone with Avamar. This is after having gone through the white papers, talking with sales engineers and finally tech support during implementation.

Hi,

I think the best approach would be to have a 10GBe connection between NW server/Storage nodes and put in place DD with DDBoost. You can also use IFCONFIG feature for DD, which offers really good performance with DDBoost as well.

I think this would offer better performance, and easier to administer, from my point of view, but yes, it depends on the bandwidth available.

Thank you.

Carlos.

If your network backups are mostly DC based (so bandwidth is not an issue), then I would go for DD with DD Boost.

I recommend Data Domain with DDBoost .Scalable Data Domain systems feature high-speed, inline deduplication and network-efficient replication. A single system can reduce storage requirements 10-30x.
