I want to keep my backups�on Data Domain

How big Data Domain do I need?

Data Domain has �the best market de-duplication:

  • Smallest block (4K – 12K)
  • Global de-duplication
  • The fastest engine
  • Source de-duplication

​

35

of 30

Thus, Data Domain requires 2-3 less

  • space
  • bandwidth for replication

than most of the market solutions

After First Backup (just after 1 backup):

On a sample of 80 virtual machines (mixed Windows and Linux), we achieved

  • De-duplication of 94%
  • 9TB VMWare occupies 0,6TB on Data Domain
  • Backup time decreased by half comparing to current solution (just 1st backup).
    • Further backups are huge faster
