WORM Instance in Flex Appliance
Hi guys, We are about to deploy a Flex Appliance WORM instance, and we have some concerns regarding its usage : Do we still need a MediaServer instance when using the WORM instance? Is the WORM instance considered as WORM storage that still requires a MediaServer instance to write to it, or is it an all-in-one instance (MediaServer + WORM storage)? In summary, when creating the WORM instance, does NBU recognize it as a MediaServer or not? When working with WORM, is deduplication still utilized? Typically, we create MSDP volumes within MediaServer instances. Wondering if WORM uses also Dedup. Does enabling WORM impact the appliance's capacity consumption? Some other vendors claim that enabling WORM can double or even triple capacity usage when using Dedup with WORM, which raises concerns about its practicality in our case, because the capacity of our Flex system is already low, and if that's the case, we'll have to avoid using WORM. Thanks in advance for any feedback given. Regards.Solved123Views0likes5Comments
