There are some key takeaways for tape backup admins looking to move to disk-to-disk backups:
NetApp VTL deduplication reduced the required disk capacity for ten full Oracle DB backups from 28.87 TB to only 1.29 TB. This would enable organizations to keep backups on disk for MUCH longer, reducing the need to go back to tape for recoveries.
The NetApp VTL provided maximum performance straight out of the box, with no tuning and a relatively small number of disks.
ESG Lab confirmed that a NetApp VTL can be deployed in an existing tape environment without changes to policies or procedures and users can be performing backups in less than 10 minutes.
Enjoy!!
