Data Domain OpenStorage Software

Optimized Integration with Symantec Veritas NetBackup

OpenStorage Data Sheet

Symantec Veritas NetBackup (NBU) is one of the most pervasive data management tools used in medium to large size data centers. It is a critical component of users' backup, recovery, and disaster preparedness strategies. NBU directs the operation of disk and tape media that stores typically five times more data than what can be found on the primary storage in the same data center. As data continues to grow unabated and as more attention is focused on a company's ability to recover from a disaster, new replication and disaster recovery (DR) solutions enabled by deduplication are becoming mandatory in many data management approaches.
