A leading provider of de-duplication storage systems, Data domain has introduced its Enterprise Manager- Data Domain DD880, aimed to deliver highest performance inline de-duplication storage system for simplifying enterprise backup and storage applications.

The enterprise manager is designed to get aggregate throughput up to 5.4 TB/hour. It supports up to 71 TB of associated addressable, post-RAID disk storage to protect large database.

Brian Biles, Data Domain's product management vice-president, said, "It used to be that VTLs running at top speed could go faster without de-dupe, storing straight to disk. This was one of the last defensible arguments for considering a post-process dedupe system architecture."

The product supports fully configured Data Domain DDX Array with 16 DD880 controllers, having capacity to increase its performance upto 86 TB/hour. It is designed to retain long-term online data through its 56 peta bytes of usable capacity.

The entry level DD880 with 22TB of usable storage will cost around £240,000, available for the third quarter of current financial year.
