Architectural approaches Deduplication in the backup software to straight disk Inline deduplication with scale-up target-side appliances Landing zone with scale-out
Straight Disk v. Dedupe Appliance Straight disk Veeam features leverage straight disk Veeam deduplication is 2X As retention grows, amount of disk needed grows At four-week retention, target appliances with greater deduplication cost less Example 50TB of data Requires 725 TB disk $400 per TB for straight disk Cost of straight disk = $290,000 Cost of ExaGrid = $140,000
