Next-generation data protection |
|
EMC® Data Domain® deduplication storage systems have revolutionized disk backup, disaster recovery, and remote office data protection with high-speed, inline deduplication.
EMC Data Domain Global Deduplication Array (GDA) is the industry’s highest performance inline deduplication storage system for enterprise backup applications. GDA presents a single deduplication storage pool to the backup application across two EMC Data Domain DD890 controllers. |
Scalable deduplication storage |
|
Global Deduplication Array is a scalable system that offers up to 28.5 PB of logical storage with a typical enterprise data set and backup policy. Enterprises with over two hundred terabytes of data can use GDA to store and protect two months of retention on disk in the same number of floor tiles that would normally provide only a couple days of disk staging. With throughput up to 26.3 TB/hour, Global Deduplication Array allows more backups to complete sooner while putting less pressure on limited backup windows. The global deduplication file system takes advantage of both controllers and uses this processing power to scale performance. During a single eight hour backup window, over 172 TB of data can be backed up to GDA or its performance capabilities can be used to minimize
the backup windows substantially. |
Easy integration for large enterprise data centers |
|
Global Deduplication Array seamlessly integrates into backup environments that use EMC NetWorker, Symantec NetBackup and Backup Exec using the EMC Data Domain Boost software option. DD Boost software provides users with the retention and recovery benefits of inline deduplication as well as managed replication for offsite disaster recovery protection. Alternatively, GDA can be connected to your backup servers as a virtual tape library (VTL) over Fibre Channel using EMC Data Domain Virtual Tape Library software. GDA is qualified with all leading enterprise backup software and easily integrates into existing infrastructures without change for either data center or distributed office data protection. |
Multi-site disaster recovery |
|
Taking advantage of EMC Data Domain Replicator software, Global Deduplication Array can be included in flexible replication topologies that can meet a large variety of disaster recovery (DR) configurations for multiple remote sites and large data centers. Using optimized replication, the bandwidth required for replication to or from GDA is reduced by up to 99 percent, which dramatically reduces the time needed to create duplicate copies of backups for consolidation or disaster recovery purposes. This reduction of data transferred over the wide area network makes network-based replication fast, efficient, and reliable.
GDA can also be used to consolidate backups from up to 270 remote sites. Cross-site deduplication takes place across all of the remote sites and local backups, minimizing bandwidth utilization even further, since only the first instance of data is transferred across any of the WAN segments. |
