Scality ARTESCA vs. Veritas NetBackup Appliance

The team in charge of implementing Scality has to be full stack in order to guarantee the correct functioning of the entire system. However, you have to think very carefully about the balance between servers and disks, perhaps adopting smaller fully populated servers instead of large semi-populated servers, which would mean that over time our disk updates will not have a fully useful life.

• NetBackup Appliance is the best effective backup and restore solution out in the market for enterprise level.
• Fastest deduplication available in the appliance.
• First time ever V-ray implementation.

• The overall packaging is not very good. I think it could be more efficient for installation.
• There are many components in storage servers. This can generally be complex to understand, you have to be patient.

As an organization, it took us a while to understand the shift from a traditional black box SAN to software-defined storage, but now we are much more certain of what this means. The time invested and the resources were not very high, thanks on the one hand to the technical support and on the other to the coherence and good development of the platform.

It has been efficient over the years that we acquired it.

I have seen Scality in the office meeting with our VP and get the feeling that they are here to support us.

Support is great so far.

Due to the nature of our business we require extensive encryption and availability for sensitive customer data. The erasure encoding that Scality provides gives us the assurance that documents are rest are never in a state of being downloaded or available to a casual data thief. This is something that can be found with other vendors but at a fraction of the same cost. Having this kind of performance, availability and redundancy at the cost that Scality provides has made a large difference to our organization.

1) Storage: Reduce storage cost by replacing with Veritas intelligent deduplication.

2) Space

Save valuable floor space by combining both the backup server and deduplication storage into one appliance.

3) Power and Cooling

As an ENERGY STAR compliant backup appliance, the NetBackup 5330 reduces floor space and power consumption, letting you to

do more with your IT budget.

4) Robust Greater performance compared to the NetBackup 5230: Up to 3X faster backup, 5.8X faster recovery, and 4.9X faster replication. 5) Greater density

Delivers more TB per rack unit (RU) which reduces floor space requirements and lowers power and cooling costs.

6) Intelligent end-to-end deduplication

Reduces the size of backups by up to 50 times and network bandwidth utilization by up to 99 percent, so you can backup and replicate faster.

7) Flexible deduplication options

Deduplication at source, media server, or target; inline or post-process.

• Keeping sensitive customer data secure is a must for our organization and Scality has great features to make this happen.
• We replaced a single SAN with a Scality ring and found performance to improve as we store more and more customer data.
• Being able to lose various portions of our Scality ring and allow it to continue to service customers while maintaining high performance has been key to our business.

• Improved operational efficiency.
