Data Domain Introduces DD880 Enterprise Deduplication Storage System
(Thomson Reuters ONE) - Sets New Benchmarks for Backup & Archive Storage PerformanceSANTA CLARA, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/20/09 -- Data Domain (NASDAQ:DDUP), the leading provider of deduplication storage systems, todayannounced the Data Domain DD880, the industry's highest performanceinline deduplication storage system for enterprise backup and archiveapplications. With aggregate throughput up to 5.4 TB/hour, faster percontroller than conventional virtual tape library (VTL) systems, andsingle-stream throughput up to 1.2 TB/hour to enable protection oflarge databases in short backup windows, the DD880 establishesconsistently high benchmarks across the spectrum of common datacenter backup metrics. A DD880 system supports up to 71 TB ofassociated addressable, post-RAID, pre-deduplication disk storage. Afully configured Data Domain DDX Array with 16 DD880 controllersincreases aggregate throughput performance to up to 86 TB/hour andoffers up to 56 petabytes of usable capacity, delivering thecapability for long-term online retention to large, consolidated datacenters.Unlike most VTL systems or other backup storage targets, the DD880deduplicates data inline using an approach in which throughput isgated by factors that are CPU-centric, not disk centric. The DD880'sprice/performance is enabled by the Data Domain SISL(TM)(Stream-Informed Segment Layout) scaling architecture to minimize thenumber of disk accesses required in the deduplication process. DataDomain systems ride the price/performance wave of multi-coreprocessorarchitectures instead of depending on over-provisioned storagesubsystems for throughput. As a result, Data Domain systems haveimproved in throughput geometrically, by more than a factor of 36since 2004. Like all Data Domain systems, the DD880 supports NFS andCIFS by default, and offers both NetBackup OpenStorage and VTL assoftware options."There has been a popular misconception that inline deduplicationsystems cannot ingest backups as fast as backup solutions that writedirectly to disk and then execute data reduction processes," saidBrian Babineau, Sr. Analyst at the Enterprise Strategy Group. "Maybethat was true at one point in time, or for specific implementations.Data Domain's DD880 clearly proves that inline deduplication can behighly competitive in speed, even when compared to VTLs and otherdisk based backup targets with no deduplication at all."Also available is a new release of Data Domain Enterprise Manager, agraphic user interface (GUI)-based management infrastructure for DataDomain systems. Enterprise Manager now provides monitoring orconfiguration support for a dozen system features includingcentralized management of multiple nodes and configuration of systemreplication and migration capabilities.With the Data Domain Replicator software option, the DD880 canautomate WAN vaulting for use in disaster recovery (DR), remoteoffice backup, or multi-site tape consolidation. A single DD880system can support a replication fan-in from up to 180 remote officesusing smaller Data Domain systems such as the DD120. The DD880 candeduplicate globally across remote sites, further minimizing requiredbandwidth since only the first instance of data is transferred acrossany of the WAN segments. With the Data Domain Retention Locksoftware option, archive data can be locked for increased governancecontrol or shredded when required to meet Department of Defense (DoD)and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)specifications.Like all Data Domain systems, the new DD880 is simple to install andflexible enough to be implemented into existing user environmentswithout disruption. Backed by available Data Domain 24x7x365enterprise class service, the DD880 supports leading backup andnearline software products on any standard storage fabric. The DD880is available as an easy-to-deploy appliance, or as the DD880gGateway, which supports external SAN disk array storage."The CPU-centric design enables the Data Domain DD880 to attainperformance and scalability advantages that largely solve theconcurrent stream versus capacity challenges we've previouslybalanced amongst our IT groups," said Michael Passe, storagearchitect for Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a teachinghospital for Harvard Medical School with 621 licensed beds and morethan 5,000 employees. "We chose Data Domain in part for itsefficient, inline deduplication as we weren't fans of the VTLparadigmor post-process approaches requiring capacity overhead that becomes awasted, difficult-to-manage resource. As our weekly backups cansurpass 100 TB, the DD880 can move data and compress to disk fasterand retain backups on disk for longer periods which translates toless time spent managing processes.""We are a happy Data Domain customer, having implemented a DD690system and gateway last year, and were eager to test the capabilitiesof the new DD880 system," said Eddy Navarro, computer systems managerfor storage at J. Craig Venter Institute, a world leader in genomicresearch. "I was particularly impressed with the increased storagedensity which can extend our data retention SLAs and double theeffective storage capacity-to-footprint utilization within our datacenter. The latest version of the Data Domain Operating Systemincludes an enhanced Enterprise Manager with more detaileddashboards, configuration drill-downs and a centralized managementinterface, allowing my team to easily monitor and manage our systemsat a glance.""It used to be that VTLs running at top speed could go faster withoutdedupe, storing straight to disk," said Brian Biles, VP of ProductManagement at Data Domain. "This was one of the last defensiblearguments for considering a post-process dedupe system architecture.That is so over. The DD880 doesn't just change the game. It pullsthe rug out from under the post process argument."Why Architecture MattersThe DD880 is based on the same CPU-centric approach to inline datadeduplication as all Data Domain systems. Unlike most deduplicationapproaches that are added as afterthoughts to existing disk arrays,Virtual Tape Libraries (VTLs) or backup software, combinedefficiencies of Data Domain include:-- SISL scaling architecture leverages CPU improvements to increase deduplication speed inline while minimizing reliance on diskaccesses for performance. Data Domain systems have delivered consistentimprovement in throughput performance by nearly 36x and in capacity by more than56x over the last 5 years. Based on Intel's CPU roadmap, increasedthroughput is expected to continue growing significantly in the future.-- High performance inline deduplication for simplicity, to minimize system resources, administration, and internal system processcontention.-- Green storage efficiency for a smaller system footprint and lower power consumption.-- Easy infrastructure integration with support for backup, archiveor other nearline workloads, as a local consolidated storage tierand for remote networked DR.-- Data Domain Data Invulnerability Architecture defends againstdata integrity issues by providing continuous verification duringstorage and recovery of data.AvailabilityThe DD880 will be generally available in the thirdquarter of 2009.
