NetAppVTL: Enterprise Class, Storage Efficient, Disk-Based Backup

In 2007, ESG Lab tested NetApp VTL appliances and found enterprise-class performance and scalability, combined with easy implementation and integration. This ESG Lab Validation report presents the results of a new round of hands-on testing of the NetApp VTL appliances with a focus on recently added data deduplication functionality. Enhanced enterprise-class performance and architectural scalability as well as the ease of deployment, painless integration with physical tape, and simplified management are also explored.
