EMC Upgrades Data Domain De-Duplication Storage Systems

EMC has announced a significant upgrade to the EMC Data Domain mid-range and entry-level deduplication storage systems, helping to drive scaling of performance and capacity across the entire product line. The new DD630, DD610 and DD140 systems leverage the power of Data Domain’s SISL (Stream Informed Segment Layout) scaling architecture to increase performance and capacity.

The new DD630 and DD610 appliances offer up to 1.1 TB/hour and 675 GB/hour of inline de-duplicated storage throughput, respectively. This doubling of performance enables mid-size enterprises to reduce their back-up windows by up to 50 percent. Raw storage capacity also increases by 60 percent allowing users to protect larger data sets and to provide 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 mid-range systems, the entry-level DD140 appliance provides a 100 percent increase in storage capacity and a 50 percent increase in aggregate back-up throughput as per company claims. The new DD140 is 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.

The DD140, DD610 and DD630 systems are designed for edge sites that store back-up or archive data locally for rapid restores and replicate it via WAN to a hub for longer-term storage or consolidated tape use.
