Software Capabilities
Policy based data
deduplication options
Adaptive In-line Deduplication
: Data is deduplicated on ingest.
Deferred Processing Deduplication
: Data is ingested to disk first, and
deduplicated in a separate process at a time set by the user. Both
methodologies may be enabled for different data sets in the same
DXi8500.
Direct tape creation
Physical tape can be written in background over a dedicated Fibre
Channel connection without using media server or backup SAN. Function
maintains barcode integrity between virtual and physical tapes and is
compatible with backup software direct to tape commands (e.g.,
NetBackup 6.5)
High availability
Dual RAID controllers (active-active)
Redundant power
Redundant cooling
Hot swap drives, power supplies, and fans
Replication
DXi8500 models offer support for remote replication.
Replication is asynchronous, one-to-one or multiple-to-one
configurations; partitions in same unit act as replication source or target;
units with partitions acting as replication targets can also support local
backup.
Data-at-Rest Encryption
Data-at-Rest Encryption uses Self Encrypting Drive (SED) technology to
secure all data stored on the DXi8500, including file data and metadata,
configuration files, and the DXi software and operating system
