In addition, EMC also brought in two terabyte (TB) disk drives which can now support expansion shelves for the new DD670, the EMC Data Domain DD880 and the recently announced EMC Data Domain Global Deduplication Array.

The company claims that the DD670, which runs on Intel Nehalem Xeon 5500 processors, can move workloads about twice as fast as that previous generation.

Shane Jackson, senior director, Product Marketing, Back-up Recovery Systems Division, EMC, said: "We continue to outpace competition by levearaging the Data Domain SISL (Stream-Informed Segment Layout) scaling architecture and new Intel processor technology to drive higher levels of system performance and capacity."

The dedupe storage system offers up to 5.4 TB per hour of aggregate inline deduplication throughput.

The system supports up to 76 TB of raw capacity or up to 2.7 petabytes (PB) of logical capacity with 50 times data reduction.

A single DD670 system can support replication fan-in from up to 90 remote offices using smaller Data Domain appliances such as the DD140 or DD610, delivering a fully-automated disaster recovery capability for distributed enterprises.

The base model includes 12 TB of disk in a 2U rack mount chassis and supports expansion shelves with either 1 TB or 2 TB SATA drives yielding a 2.1 times increase in rack density.

Data Domain systems offer application support, such as NFS, CIFS, Symantec OpenStorage or EMC Data Domain Boost over 1 or 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and/or VTL over fibre channel. 

An 8Gb fibre channel connectivity option is also now available for the DD670 and DD880.

The DLm960 with the Deduplication Storage Expansion option scales from 2 to 6 Virtual Tape Engines (VTEs) supporting up to 12 FICON connections and front-end ingest performance over 4.3 TB per hour.

The new DL5000 series scales from 8 TB up to 1.4 PB of usable storage which yields up to 2.8 PB of logical capacity, with an average compression ratio of 2:1. 

The DL5000 series offers up to 10.2 TB/hr ingest performance in a single system.  The two models in the DL5000 series, the DL5100 and DL5200, consist of one and two Disk Library engines respectively.

Based on the new Intel Xeon Processor 5500 Series, the Disk Library engine includes new hardware compression cards and three 8 Gb fibre channel ports.

The dual engine DL5200 offers active engine failover, which provides a highly available system that can continue operating after a single engine failure.
