Node Interfaces
Hardware
Up to 8 ports 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet (RJ45 connector) and Up to 4 ports of 4 Gb
Fibre Channel (LC Connector) per system. Path to tape option uses one FC port.
Entry Level:
Up to 2 ports 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet (RJ45 connector) and Up to 2 ports of 4 Gb
Fibre Channel (LC Connector) per system. Path to tape option uses one FC port.
Software Capabilities
Policy based data de-
duplication options
Adaptive In-line De-duplication
: data is de-duplicated on ingest.
Deferred Processing De-duplication
: data is ingested to disk first, and de-duplicated in a
separate process at a time set by the user. Both methodologies may be enabled for differ-
ent data sets in the same DXi7500.
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)
