Last week we launched the first NetBackup hardware appliance called the NetBackup 5000 (and there will be more to come).  There are plenty of data sheets, presentations and webcasts but if you're a gadget geek you probably just want the quick run down on specs.

 

At a higher level, the NBU 5000 has:

- 16TB capacity extensible to 96 TB through a multi-node configuration

- A less than 20 minute setup time per node (we've seen it done as quickly as 5 minutes)

- Tape integration via NetBackup + built in replication for tapeless DR

- Compatibility with both NetBackup 6.5 and 7.0 environments
