- Business Problems Solved
Data Domain is widely used in various backup scenarios and data storage environments. One of its primary use cases is as the data storage component for Avamar backup solution, providing reliable and efficient storage for backups. Users appreciate the seamless integration of Data Domain into storage and backup strategies, eliminating the need for tape backup. Additionally, Data Domain's deduplication feature is highly valued as it helps save disk space and avoid data duplication.
Another important use case of Data Domain is its role as a local backup target and cross-replication system for geodiverse data storage. By setting up backup and data lifecycle policies on the console, users can streamline their work processes effectively. 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. The compression factor of PowerProtect DD allows users to store a large amount of data on physical disks with optimal utilization. This makes it ideal for businesses looking to protect, manage, and recover their data efficiently.
For individuals and professionals alike, PowerProtect DD offers confidence in restoring backups and minimizing data loss disruptions. The user-friendly interface makes regular data backups easy to complete. Moreover, field technicians find PowerProtect DD valuable as it enables them to access data backups whenever needed, enhancing their productivity.
Overall, Data Domain's versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of industries and settings where effective data management and protection are crucial. It provides reliable storage solutions, efficient deduplication capabilities, seamless integration into existing systems, and easy-to-use interfaces that cater to the needs of both businesses and individual users alike.

- reliable
- easy accessibility 24/7
- good initial install experience
- haven’t found anything.
Protection to your DATA
- Deduplication of data coming from different sources
- Provides highly secure and efficient storage ecosystem
- Backup and Restoration is fasten up
- HA is achieved within independent stacks making the TCO reduced
- Implementation of the product is complex and time taking, which needs to be improved.
- If you have different data sources coming into the system, then installation needs to be carried away by a professional.
The Power to Protect... Back me up...
- Extreme data density with compression.
- Reliable and efficient replication.
- At rest encryption.
- Fast write speeds.
- Slow read speeds.
Tried and True
- It writes backups quickly. DDBoost add-on is very useful as well for improving backup speeds.
- DD is very efficient in its use of capacity. It dedupes and compresses very well.
- It spans to large capacity amounts.
- It is very slow to restore from. Backup times are great, restores can be terribly slow.
- It doesn't offload to cloud storage natively. You need to purchase an expensive license to enable this feature.
- The management interface is very basic, but it works fine.
- The new air gap solution seems to be just replication an on/off switch. I'd prefer to see them leverage AI on the existing device instead of requiring
- A second device is purchased and securing by toggling the connectivity off.
- Compresses backups well.
- Very reliable.
- Upgrades could be simpler.
- The sales process could be simpler. We bought 2 nodes for DR, but one was with VxBlock which complicated the process.
- Better reporting.
Brief overview of Data Domain
- The deduplication is fantastic. We are currently seeing total compression factors in the mid to upper 50s.
- The platform is very reliable and stable.
- It backs up a wide variety of enterprise apps (e.g. legacy applications, UNIX, iSeries, open systems etc) or your primary storage.
- It can be expensive to implement, especially when used in conjunction with other applications/hardware such as Avamar.
- The TCO can be high, especially when it needs its storage expanded.
- Recovery speeds can be slow (compared to other solutions) for when recovery is time sensitive.
Due to the price point, it may not be well suited for environments that are mostly virtualized with a small data footprint.
DataDomain is the best backup target for our organization
- High data ingestion rate. For inline dedupe, these devices can ingest a saturated Gigabit Ethernet line, plus a FibreChannel from an AS/400.
- High reliability. In ten years of having at least two units and ingesting 1.5 to 2TB/night of backups, we've replaced maybe three disk drives.
- Scalability. Dedupe ratios are very good (11:1 for us for all data), and the DD2500 models allow addition of disk trays to expand capacity.
- Ease of use. Management interface is good, the free Data Domain Management Center Appliance is even better.
- Dedupe ratios on a per-folder or per-CIFS share basis would be nice, we can only see the ratio per partition (MTree). So it's not possible to see what ratio we get from Tivoli data vs vRanger data, for instance, because they're in the same MTree.
- The VTL option seems inordinately expensive given it's only software. We held off a long time because of the cost, and only went down that road because the IBM iSeries is inherently unable to do a DR recovery from disk only.
Data Domain - Tape is dead!
- MTree replication to another Data Domain system. The Data Domain performs the replication every 15 minutes, so our offsite data is never more than 15 minutes out of sync with production.
- DDBoost provides a faster way to back up our data.
- Data encryption at rest. This allows us to protect our database data.
- Depending on the model of Data Domain, there is a limit to the number of NFS/SMB threads that can run concurrently. When this limit is reached, the system is slow to respond to client requests.
- Data Domain support is very slow to turn out new features and bug fixes in their code.
- OS upgrades are very slow and disruptive.
Data Domain for a seamless DR
- Cross-site replication.
- Easily maintained, organized and replicated backup schedules and policies.
- Deduplication is amazing, we are seeing in some cases with OS and file 22:1 dedupe.
- VMware integration from a restoration perspective.
- Initial ingestion for data can get bloated at first it would be nice to see a better estimation of what you most likely will see after dedupe and compression completes.
- Better data aging and deletion capabilities, we see periodic bloating with lower retention policies.
Data Domain - Stable, Reliable.... just works!
- Data Domain is very good at data reduction of database backups (IBM DB2, SAP HANA, Oracle).
- Data Domain is an excellent choice for WAN optimized long distance DR data replication.
- Data Domain is extremely reliable and stable.
- Restore speed could be improved. Restores are much slower than backups.
- It would be nice if there were multi-controller larger capacity configurations.
- Increased large environment remote management functionality would be a welcome addition.
