Netbackup Deduplication Licensing

Hi,

Both options work on front-end Terabyte, the one you select when quoting depends on your customer's licensing model. Whic one do they use?

Traditional Licensing Model: The Traditional licensing model is the only model that was available until NetBackup 6.5. Customers under this model count the number of NetBackup Clients , Servers, and Options they would like to run NetBackup on or with and purchase the same number of licenses . As they deploy additional NetBackup clients or servers or attach additional tape drives or storage to NetBackup they must license additional copies of the appropriate NetBackup product.

or

NBU Platform (per Front-end Terabyte) Licensing Model: This model enables customers to license NetBackup based on how much source data that is protected rather than the number of NetBackup components deployed. This model is beneficial to customers who have or planned to deploy advanced features of NetBackup such as Enterprise Client, Application and Database Packs, Deduplication Option and RealTime.

If its Traditional, you quote 1 - SYMC NETBACKUP DEDUPLICATION OPTION

If its NBU Platform (per Front-end Terabyte), you quote 2 - SYMC NETBACKUP PLATFORM DEDUPLICATION OPTION ADD-ON
