Furthermore, Data Domain offers a high scale and efficient storage solution, contributing to agility and security in data management.

In terms of performance, PowerProtect DDs are utilized as targets for enterprise backups, ensuring reliable offsite backups.

For our company’s needs, this was perfect. It might be too much for someone who is a sole prop or not enough for a much larger corporation with many global locations to maintain. We like the ease of access and the face our techs can get what they need on site or in the shop.

We have huge data coming in from different sources and also from multiple organizations in our Data centres. This data had multiple copies of the same data and was huge in size therefore, we wanted to have a solution in place which can help us with a good amount of deduplication at the deepest possible level to make sure that our ecosystem does not have multiple copies of the same data and is also efficient at the same time. Having said this, we wanted this solution to be secure and reliable since it had to be exposed to a huge critical set of data in the market. To add, backup and restoration was something that we were also keen on evaluating so that once we have efficient data within our system, the time it takes to backup and restoration also reduces. And all this was justified by this solution when we signed up with them. From the pricing perspective and the implementation side, the solution needs improvement to make it more efficient and user-friendly.

PowerProtectDD seems to be appropriate for both business and home use. If I wanted to backup data for my business, it would be appropriate. If I wanted to backup personal data on my home computer, it would be appropriate. I can't think of a context where it would not be appropriate.

When used as a backup target PowerProtect DD models offer incredible density and can efficiently replicate to another cloud-based or offsite unit. Most complaints about these have been addressed in software over the years and they are now a intuitive and easily managed backup system. You are not buying a Swiss army knife, you are getting a machine designed for a purpose, use it for that and you will not be disappointed. While they have the ability to serve as a CIFS server, they are not a filer and lack many of the features inherent to filers and are a poor substitute.

It fits well into most backup solutions that don't require frequent restorations. If you need to be able to offload to cloud and can't afford extra licensing costs, this may not be for you.

Data Domain is best suited for environments that have a wide range of applications in use from legacy to modern. For example, environments that have a mainframe, ERP, and open systems with a large data footprint.
Due to the price point, it may not be well suited for environments that are mostly virtualized with a small data footprint.

Best suited for backup target, that's what it was designed for. The ingestion rate is very high, data exfil not so much. Doesn't work very well as a NAS (though functionally, that's what it is). It's very good at block-level deduplication of disparate types of data.

Data Domain is well suited in an environment where there is already a backup software in use that can take advantage of things like DDBoost. If a company is looking for an all in one solution, then Data Domain is not suited for this.

Data Domain allowed us to move to a tapeless backup environment and with the product located in multiple sites we were able to achieve a cross-site replication policy that protects our data and intellectual property in a geographically diverse manner while maintaining corporate retention policies. I would say unless you are a shop that has retention policies that are low enough to keep copies in your facilities this product may not be capable for your needs.

We have found that Data Domain excels at homogeneous data type backups such as database dumps. We are able to get very good data reduction/de-duplication rates when we are careful to place similar data types/data on the same appliance. Conversely we have found that Data Domain is only average from a data reduction perspective when mixed data types are placed on the same appliance. In order to maximize your data reduction you must pay attention to appropriately place data.
