Hi @SteveF, the new DXi V5000 looks really interesting. Nowadays, I play around with it and my first impresion is very positive. Nevertheless, I would like to ask you regarding Quantum DXi V5000 integration with Veeam. How does it work? I have created NFS share within Quantum DXi V5000 and then set this share as repository in Veeam. Are there any other types of integration with Veeam? Any response will be much appreciated! You can add it as a “Deduplicating storage appliance” when adding it as a repository. It’s also mentioned in the user guide. This is how I would add it to get the most out of the storage with the free version otherwise you are limited to the 5TB. The DXi will deduplicate the data it receives in either case, so you don’t lose the deduplicating advantage by using it as a raw NFS target.What you do lose is the Veeam integration features, which reduce bandwidth requirements, and allow server supported synthetic full backups
I would say no, and my reason in one word would be: SureBackup.Unless your deduplicating appliance has a “landing zone”, then reading data requires the deduplication appliance to rehydrate the data which has a massive impact to performance in any recovery operation, far more performance impact than reading directly from a traditional DAS with Veeam’s normal compression & deduplication Landing zones aren’t necessarily faster than reading direct from dedupe.Quantum's DXi meets the restore performance requirements, and also supports Fast Clone for faster synthetic full creation.Read probably won’t be as fast as a similarly sized primary storage partition, (YMMV), but is likely to be as fast or faster than a “landing zone” tier, with the added advantages of Fast Clone support and no performance drop-off when the backup in question has left the landing zone, and all the space available for dedupe.
