Deduplication : PureDisk software appliance vs 5020 hardware appliance
Hello, There are with Symantec products two solutions to implement global deduplication : - a solution based on appliances 5020; - a solution based on your own hardware servers (where we will install the PureDisk software appliance) and a mid-range storage disk connected on a SAN (for deduplication data). 5020: Pros : easy to install, easy to maintain, one single contact for support Cons : pricing, performance (5020 has SATA disks), hardware upgrade Servers based : Pros : performance (you can use Near-line SAS disks), scalability, reliability Cons : manpower to install and maintain the solution, more contacts for support Can anyone advice me on the best solution ? What are you experiences with the 5020 appliances, with the PureDisk software appliance ? Thanks. Regards, Pierre.3.7KViews0likes19Comments
