The Data Domain Appliance Series delivers the highest throughput and scalability of any deduplication storage system in the industry and was designed to be seamlessly and cost-effectively integrated into existing infrastructures.

Unlike other disk-based backup products that serve as front-ends to a tape library infrastructure, the Appliance Series provides cost-effective long-term onsite retention and highly efficient network-based data replication for disaster recovery (DR), remote office protection and tape consolidation.

Appliance Series Datasheet

Key features include:

• Massive Data Reduction: Driven by Data Domain’s fast, inline deduplication and compression technology, Global Compression, the Appliance Series offers an average 20x data reduction for backup images, enabling cost-efficient, long-term retention.
• Fully Compatible with All Leading Enterprise Backup and Archiving Software: The Appliance Series is designed to easily integrate into the existing backup infrastructure — either as a file server or virtual tape library (VTL) — supporting all leading enterprise backup and archiving software.
• High Throughput and Extended Retention: The Appliance Series delivers up to 800 GB/hr of throughput (exceeding LTO-4 performance) and offers up to 1.25 PB of logical capacity, allowing months of online backup image retention and ensuring fast, reliable data restores from disk.
• Local and Remote Site Data Protection: Data Domain Replicator software enables Data Domain deduplication storage systems to function as a highly efficient WAN vaulting solution for DR, remote office data protection and multi-site tape consolidation.
• Advanced Data Integrity: Data Domain’s Data Invulnerability Architecture provides the best defense against data integrity issues with continuous fault detection and healing, and end-to-end verification of data recoverability at time of backup.

The Data Domain DDX Array is the industry’s first data center scale deduplication storage array with high throughput, capacity and scalability to meet the growing demands of data centers with large nearline storage requirements and/or multiple remote site protection requirements.

DDX Array Datasheet

Key features include:

• Modular Scalability: The DDX Array Series is available in 4, 8 and 16 controller configurations, uses integrated or third party external storage, and is designed to provide nearline storage for data centers with at least 20 TB of application data.
• Massive Data Reduction: Driven by Data Domain’s fast, inline deduplication technology, Global Compression™, DDX array configurations significantly reduce physical storage required for long-term retention and are available for less than $0.35 per GB.
• High Throughput and Extended Retention: A 16-controller DDX array provides up to 12.8 TB per hour throughput and delivers over 20 petabytes of capacity depending on backup policy and data change rate. This provides up to 18 months of online retention, ensuring fast and reliable data recoveries from disk.
• Green: The DDX Array Series with integrated internal storage uses as little as 1.1 watts per TB of power and as little as 9U of 19″ rack space per petabyte, significantly lowering power, cooling and floor tile requirements in the data center.
• Simplified Data Center Management: The Data Domain Enterprise Manager provides monitoring of the controllers in a DDX array with a simple, browser-based graphical user interface (GUI).
• Flexible DR Configuration: The DDX Series complements all Data Domain appliances as a hub for efficiently vaulting data from up to 320 remote sites for DR, tape consolidation and longer term retention.
• Ultimate Data Integrity: Data Domain’s Data Invulnerability Architecture provides the best defense against data integrity issues to continuously verify, detect and protect against data recoverability issues throughout the life cycle of the data.
• Fully Compatible with All Leading Enterprise Backup and Archiving Software: Like all Data Domain deduplication storage systems, the DDX Series is qualified with all leading backup and archiving software and easily integrates into the existing environment using NAS and/or Virtual Tape interfaces without any infrastructure changes.

Data Domain Replicator software provides network-efficient, automated, ultra-safe replication for disaster recovery (DR), remote office data protection and multi-site tape consolidation. Data Domain Replicator software vaults or asynchronously replicates only the compressed, deduplicated data over the wide area network (WAN), making WAN vaulting economically and operationally feasible.

Replicator Datasheet

Key features include:

• Up to 99% Network Bandwidth Reduction: For replication, Data Domain’s Global Compression™ becomes more effective by first deduplicating and compressing data at the originating Data Domain system and then employing the techniques again on the destination system.
• Secure, Simple and Integrated: Replicator software enables automated offsite replication by easily integrating with the existing network and backup infrastructure. WAN vaulting eliminates the security risks associated with human intervention and physical tape transportation.
• Fast Online Data Recovery: Data Domain systems provide high capacity and network-based DR, making it possible to recover online data from either location.
• Remote Office Data Protection: Replicator software enables geographically distributed branch offices to vault selected data to a central hub or data center for enterprise-wide site recovery.
• Tape Consolidation: Replicator software eliminates the need for tape backup at each remote office and enables organizations to consolidate tape infrastructure at a central hub with experienced IT staff.
• Flexible Deployment Options: To meet a broad scope of data protection needs, Replicator software allows enterprises to deploy different topologies, such as one-to-one mirroring, bi-directional vaulting and many-to-one remote site vaulting.

Every now and then we come across a well written white paper that – even though it’s sponsored by a vendor – presents a compelling argument.

That’s the case with “Extending D2D to Offsite DR: The ROI Case for Wan Vaulting.”

Written by Barb Goldworm of Focus Consulting for Data Domain, it uses case studies to show the benefits of deduplication and D2D backup and how it can be extended to deliver cost effective offsite data protection and DR.

This is a well thought out and well written effort. It shows how to build a case for WAN vaulting using direct and indirect savings, TCO, ROI and payback periods. However, this is not a detailed math and formula guide – it uses real world examples with appropriate tables and graphs.

“Extending D2D…” offers substance and readability.
