7. DXi8500
Memory, presentation layer, deduplication
Blockpool
Streamlined data flow deduplicates data prior to disk write.
Format replication compatible with earlier DXi appliances.
How Did We Double Performance and Overtake the Competition?
Streamlined data flow
Inline with all deduplication in memory prior to disk write simple, shortertransactions
Enhanced process control
New, standardized model for central controller, software backplane, memory mgmt
Software leverages newest technology capabilities
Specifically written for purpose built appliances with new processors, multi-tier storage (including SSD, SAS)
Latest generation file system technology
Faster performance, easier scaling

8. We Retained Leading Deduplication, Tape Integration
DXi systems still use variable-block based data reduction
Several times more effective than fixed block approaches
Models offer integration of disk and tape for complete solution
Disk, tape integrated under ISV control
The result: Users protect more data in their backup window, and protect more data in each appliance
DXi8500
Actual results of 6 Exchange backup jobs.
Variable-blocks have 2 to 3 times higher dedupe ratios than fixed blocksand the advantage increases over time.
