NetBackup 5000 Specs

Joe_Pfeiffer
Level 4
NetBackup 5000Last week we launched the first NetBackup hardware appliance called the NetBackup 5000 (and there will be more to come).  There are plenty of data sheets, presentations and webcasts but if you're a gadget geek you probably just want the quick run down on specs.
 
At a higher level, the NBU 5000 has:
- 16TB capacity extensible to 96 TB through a multi-node configuration
- A less than 20 minute setup time per node (we've seen it done as quickly as 5 minutes)
- Tape integration via NetBackup + built in replication for tapeless DR
- Compatibility with both NetBackup 6.5 and 7.0 environments

 

NetBackup 5000 without bezel

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.
