BTW, we have an older DataDomain unit and it sticks. After it gets to 70% it can no longer keep up as it has no room to work it magic onboard any more. Figure 60% usage on a DataDomain... that's what I would say.

We are getting 1.5x Deduplication on some plus 2x Compression on our GreenBytes units.... I believe they run ZFS+ for their underlying store . . . .

In our Development area, we just put in a Dell PowerConnect 8024F for just over $8,000 vs the usual $32,000 for the Cisco blade in a Cisco 6509. All 10 GbE. Had to upgradeto current code to get jumbo 9216 working well, but all is good ow . . .
