The office that I work for is very quickly running out of storage space for there backups, and I'm looking for some alternatives. Currently we employ backup exec to backup our servers and data to a rack-mount Netgear ReadyNAS that is kept onsite. I have rack-space and a 50mb pipe to a co-located data center, and would like to synchronize the backups between devices at each site.
Requirements:
What does everyone use? What would you recommend?
Requirements:
- Minimum 16TB+ storage with room for growth (whether it be clustering, expansion shelves, etc.).
- Storage redundancy (whether it be RAID, or some other form of duplication.)
- A fair amount of Compression/Deduplication (we want to store a large number of backups, saving space on duplicates will be crucial).
- Snapshot schedule.
- Real-Time Replication.
- Service Agreement (Company policy requires that there is vendor support available for all hardware.)
