HOPKINTON, Mass., Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) , the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today announced a significant upgrade to the EMC Data Domain midrange and entry-level deduplication storage systems, helping to drive continued scaling of performance and capacity across the entire product line. Similar to the company's Data Domain high-end solutions, the new DD630, DD610 and DD140 systems leverage the power of Data Domain's SISL(TM) (Stream Informed Segment Layout) scaling architecture to dramatically increase throughput performance and capacity. Data Domain systems continue to ride the price performance wave of multi-core processor architectures and avoid dependency on oversized storage subsystems for throughput.
The new DD630 and DD610 appliances offer up to 1.1 TB/hour and 675 GB/hour of inline deduplicated storage throughput, respectively. This doubling of performance enables midsize enterprises to reduce their backup windows by up to 50%. Raw storage capacity also increases by 60% allowing users to protect larger data sets and to provide cost-effective, long-term onsite retention. Up to 420 TB and 195 TB of logical data can be protected in the DD630 and DD610, respectively. Like all Data Domain systems, the DD630 and DD610 support NFS and CIFS by default, and offer both NetBackup OpenStorage (OST) and VTL as software options.
Complementing the new midrange systems, the entry-level DD140 appliance provides a 100% increase in storage capacity and a 50% increase in aggregate backup throughput. The new DD140 is simple to deploy and is conveniently packaged with Data Domain Replicator software to enable remote site protection. The DD140 complements all Data Domain systems including the DDX Array Series which can act as a hub for recovery images vaulted efficiently from up to 2,880 smaller sites.
"Data Domain has already demonstrated there is a considerable appetite for deduplication across organizations of all sizes. We are seeing deduplication increasingly being embraced by companies looking to implement tapeless disaster recovery at the edge by pulling in data from remote offices to a data center core," said Henry Baltazar, Storage Analyst, The 451 Group. "With its latest Data Domain product refresh, EMC has demonstrated again how its systems offer users scalability in both performance and capacity by leveraging the incremental improvements of commodity processor technologies."
The DD140, DD610 and DD630 systems are designed for edge sites that store backup or archive data locally for rapid restores and replicate it via WAN to a hub for longer term storage or consolidated tape use. The majority of Data Domain systems are deployed with the Replicator option, which enables cross-site deduplication for many-to-one or, more recently, cascaded replication topologies. Most competitive deduplication systems, either through limited post-process architectures or lack of maturity, are still wrestling with first-generation deduplicated replication issues."Our agency is challenged by high data growth rates and limited bandwidth between our data center locations. These obstacles were compounded by an unreliable and slow tape infrastructure. We needed a reliable, scalable solution that was manageable from an enterprise level," said Corey Kos, Infrastructure Manager for Alaska's Department of Fish & Game (ADFG). "The EMC Data Domain DD610 systems and Replicator software can greatly improve our backup performance and recovery window from any of our core data centers in Juneau, Anchorage, Kodiak and Fairbanks. Overall, Data Domain is a very green solution that is well-suited for ADFG's managed infrastructure services model."
"Data at the edge of corporate networks keeps exploding, and IT governance best practices have encouraged stopping inclusion of tape in those environments over the course of the decade," said Brian Biles, Vice President, Product Management, EMC Backup Recovery Systems (BRS) Division. "When using standard backup software, EMC Data Domain systems continue to be the simplest, most cost-effective and capable solution."
Data Domain deduplication storage systems easily integrate into most IT environments by supporting leading enterprise backup and archive applications as well as a variety of network types and transfer protocols simultaneously. These include CIFS or NFS fileserver over Ethernet, Virtual Tape Library over Fibre Channel and the NetBackup OpenStorage interface. The DD630, DD610 and DD140 are available immediately.
