Data Domain systems and solutions help customers reduce or eliminate the use of tape infrastructures with a very efficient disk- and network-based data protection alternative. Using the company's high-speed inline deduplication technology, Data Domain systems identify redundant files and data as they are being stored, creating a storage footprint that is 10x-30x smaller on average than the original dataset.

Not just for Backup and DR<!--more-->

Originally an ideal solution for backup and disaster recovery applications, customers are now deploying Data Domain deduplication storage more broadly as a storage tier including nearline file storage, backup, disaster recovery (DR) and long term retention of enterprise data for reference, litigation support and regulatory compliance.

DD670 - New Midrange Deduplication Storage System

This summer Data Domain released the new DD670 midrange deduplication storage system, which offers up to 5.4 TB per hour of aggregate inline deduplication throughput. The system supports up to 76 TB of raw capacity or up to 2.7 petabytes (PB) of logical capacity with 50 times data reduction. A single DD670 system can support replication fan-in from up to 90 remote offices using smaller Data Domain appliances such as the DD140 or DD610, delivering a fully-automated disaster recovery capability for distributed enterprises. Overall, the DD670 delivers major price/performance improvements to backup and recovery processes and more capacity for extended online retention.
