  1. @johnddias I live to serveabout 5 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to johnddias
  2. @johnddias If U're asking "what the best way 2 BU multi-TB servers" then I'd have 2 say sum variation of CDP, Near-CDP. NOT trad. Backupabout 12 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to johnddias
  3. @johnddias If U're asking "what dedupe is appropriate 4 backing up multi-TB servers," I'd say a target dedupe vendor w/global dedupeabout 12 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to johnddias
  4. @rootwyrm Even if the client had 10GbE I dont think an Avamar grid could fill that pipe. Agreed that LAN-free is rqmt 4 large shopsabout 14 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to rootwyrm
  5. @dvellante I'll be glad to stand corrected if someone gives me updated numbers.about 14 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to dvellante
  6. @dvellante When you're restoring multi-TB srvrs you need multi-100s/MB/s, and my understanding is that an Avamar grid cannot supply thatabout 14 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to dvellante
  7. @dvellante My understanding is that even a grid's aggregate restore speed is not going to satisfy someone who needs to restore TBs of dataabout 15 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to dvellante
  8. @rootwyrm But the TSM dedupe is REALLY limited. 2:1 dedupe ratio and post process only? That's their own published numbers9:27 AM Nov 7th from TweetDeck in reply to rootwyrm
  9. @dvellante Once a datacenter gets much bigger than that, I think source dedupe's restore speed will be a show-stopper9:26 AM Nov 7th from TweetDeck
  10. @dvellante I don't ignore Avamar. I just believe source-dedupe currently works only in remote offices, VMs, & small datacenters (<5TB)9:25 AM Nov 7th from TweetDeck in reply to dvellante
  11. @valb00 But I don't follow you to know what you think of EMC's products, nor @ChuckHollis to learn what he thinks of NetApp's9:16 AM Nov 7th from TweetDeck in reply to valb00
  12. @valb00 you throw plenty of bombs urself (e.g. Ur many vce posts). U all do it & u all think the other guy does it more8:43 PM Nov 6th from UberTwitter in reply to valb00
  13. @Storagezilla I'm not giving anyone a free pass. There are times that @valb00 pokes too much, and times that you and @chuckhollis do8:37 AM Nov 6th from TweetDeck in reply to Storagezilla
  14. @Storagezilla When really what happened (IIRC) was that the customer decided to stay with EMC, the incumbent4:59 AM Nov 6th from TweetDeck
  15. @Storagezilla The one I'm thinking about is how you said that a customer "threw out NetApp & their $1M challenge"4:59 AM Nov 6th from TweetDeck
  16. @storagezilla but what was so wrong with @valb00's post abt BT? It reminds me of one a few mths ago from you guys.4:58 AM Nov 6th from TweetDeck
  17. @storagezilla Reviewing today's tweetfight, it was really Chuck that went over the line.4:57 AM Nov 6th from TweetDeck
  18. @Storagezilla It's one thing to say "what you said is not true." It's another to say "and your baby's (product's) ugly, too"4:54 AM Nov 6th from TweetDeck in reply to Storagezilla
  19. @Storagezilla So r u basically saying "he started it?" I think all 4 of U "start it" at any given time. wht I'm saying is no 1 enjoys it4:49 AM Nov 6th from TweetDeck in reply to Storagezilla
