EMC launches midrange dedupe system
The company continues to expand its Data Domain range with a new deduplication offering.


EMC has announced a new product to be launched under its Data Domain umbrella, offering deduplication capabilities to mid-sized businesses.
The DD670 storage system is based on the Intel Xeon 5500 processor and claims to be two times faster than its competitors thanks to EMC's Boost software, launched at EMC World in May this year.
The firm claims the product offers up to 5.4TB per hour of inline deduplication throughput and supports 76TB of raw capacity.
It also said it was possible for the machine to support replication from up to 90 remote locations, giving "major price/performance improvements" for backup and recovery.
The basic model comes with 12TB within a 2U rack mount chassis but this can be expanded with 1TB or 2TB SATA drives to increase capacity two fold.
Connections include one or 10Gb Ethernet or Virtual Tape Library (VTL) over Fibre Channel plus the choice of 8Gb Fibre Channel connectivity.
Although an exact date for its official release has not been confirmed yet, EMC said it would come to market during the third quarter of this year.
