Basically you can buy 1 of these 4U boxes that holds 24 1TB hard drives and send dedupe data to it as a NBU Storage Unit in your existing environment OR you can take NetBackup PureDisk Clients and send data directly to the 5000 without going through a media server. If you run out of room or need more space you can buy up to a total of 6 which would give you 96TB (6 x 16TB). And best of all the dedupe works across ALL of the appliances even as you keep adding new ones. It's something called global deduplication and has been one of the best parts of the NetBackup dedupe option in NetBackup 7.0 that is now available in hardware form.

We're excited for giving people the best software on what we feel is the best hardware for it. Lots of more exciting appliances are coming but check out the 5000 if you're in the market for some dedupe backup storage.
