| Overview : |
NetWorker environments support a handful to thousands of clients. NetWorker scales by adding additional NetWorker storage node/SAN storage nodes, and associated disk and tape resources. The most common challenges in NetWorker environments include:
- Completing backups, staging and cloning with limited time and physical resources
- Contending with large client backups (several million files per client)
- Scaling NetWorker databases, logs, media management and pools to keep up with demand
- Eliminating redundant data backup locations (multiple full/incremental copies of databases, aggressive backup retention policies, etc.)
- Eliminating performance bottlenecks (NetWorker server type, networking, client issues, etc.)
- Lack of capacity planning and reporting disciplines
The authors walk through a detailed analysis of how Data Domain systems address these challenges, complete with planning and sizing considerations and integration planning. |
