Hi Rick, Have a look at the latest IBM Spectrum Protect Blueprints and the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Blueprints. They are based on (of course) IBM hardware (v5100 series) but the performance is good and you have the ability to benchmark your performance and compare it with the performance from the IBM lab. The price per TB is also very competitive, especially if your used to Data Domain prices. :-)

What storage solution is at the top of your list for Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus? I am a former a Data Domain abuser who (regretfully) moved to EMC Isilon and now looking for the best possible replacement. Usable storage requirement of somewhere in the neighborhood of 500+ tb. Operation protects roughly 2,100 clients. About 75% VMware VMs and SQL with a scattering of AIX hosting DB2 & Oracle. Currently primarily protected using Spectrum Protect servers using BA, TDP, and SP4VE but looking to migrate all possible operations to Spectrum Protect Plus. At this time the plan would be to retain only the most recent (active) data at our production facility on high performing storage to provide quick recovery then using replicate inactive data to our DR facility to be offloaded to Spectrum Protect servers and/or cloud.
