InQuinox creates an appliance for PureDisk (called the SD3) which contains redundant hardware to circumvent a SPOF and thereby provide a long-life platform upon which PureDisk can thrive. The superior combination of SD3 with PureDisk provides these additional features which Data Domain cannot offer:
- NetBackup Integration – Integration with core NetBackup features for scalable, load-balanced disk-based backups.
- Deduplication can occur where necessary, whether at the client or media server.
- Optimized Synthetic Backups – the ability to create new Backup Images from existing backups without moving any data.
- Optimized deduplication of VMware vSphere backups.
- Optimized deduplication of MS-SQL, Exchange, and SharePoint agent-based backups.
- Optimized replication to remote deduplication servers or other NBU servers, with Automated Import of Replicated images (AIR).
- Global Deduplication – Ability to scale while retaining deduplication across the nodes.
- Export / Archive to Tape Faster – Fast, reliable and fully automated exports to tape via direct API within NetBackup.
- Better Disaster Recovery – Fast and reliable recovery in DR situations via NetBackup integration.
- Option for High Availability (HA) – NetBackup Deduplication offers industry leading HA with Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) at no additional software cost.
- Stronger Encryption Option – NetBackup Deduplication can utilize 256-bit encryption cipher with tape encryption.
