When to used Advanced Disk?
From an academic standpoint, when does it make sense to use Advanced Disk over MSDP?
The scenarios I've seen from reading are:
1. Data that is about to get dumped to tape
2. Data that is being kept for a very short life span
3. Data that changes wildly from day to day and does not dedup well
Any others?
For #3, how much change does there need to be to make it worth it?
The non academic part of this question is I'm using two appliances, one intended for a DR role and am looking at utilizing AIR replication between the two sites. However it appears that Advanced disk is not supported by AIR. I'm entertaining the idea of converting ALL of my storage over to MSDP, so can anyone tell me why that's a bad idea?
