"By achieving up to 90 percent deduplication rates with Symantec NetBackup 7 software and Symantec NetBackup 5000 appliances, we project we'll save more than $400,000 over the next three years on backup hardware and media."
–Albert Chin, Network Engineer, PerkinElmer, Inc.
"Our deduplication rate for backups is around 40 percent on average. Being able to pack more data onto the appliances is a huge benefit."
"Restores from the NetBackup appliances are 14-fold faster compared with tape, and have been 100 percent successful."
–Jesse Determann, Director - Distributed Architecture, Continuum Health Partners, Inc.
"Restores from the NetBackup appliances are 14-fold faster compared with tape, and have been 100 percent successful."
"Symantec's recent release of the NetBackup 5220 Appliance truly provides a 'backup in a box' approach to data protection. DLT recently test drove Symantec's Netbackup 5220 Appliance and had remarkable results. Not only did the appliance receive high marks for ease of use, but the NetBackup software product and startup of the actual appliance made the deduplication rates and backup speeds the top in industry standards."
–Rick Marcotte, President and CEO, DLT Solutions
"We only wanted to use deduplication and a virtual tape solution when the technologies were integrated with NetBackup; otherwise it simply means we have yet more hardware to manage. With the NetBackup 5000 Series appliances, that straightforward, turn-key integration has arrived."
– Terry Fenn, Implementation Design Manager, Xchanging
"Symantec NetBackup 5200 appliances...were 'literally plug and play - plug them in, set the address, and point them toward the master server'." Trying to equal the capabilities of the appliances with traditional software and hardware 'would probably take an additional two to three days of deployment time, and at $175 an hour, that's a pretty substantial labor cost.'"
–Brad Craig, Director of IT, Charlotte Eye, Ear, Nose & Throat Associates
"When we have separate hardware and software, we have to map and coordinate events such as operating system upgrades, patches, and storage changes, and they don't always mesh smoothly. Appliances simplify this."
–Dan Trim, Director of IT Infrastructure, Health Alliance Plan
"By standardizing on Symantec across the storage infrastructure, the PPA is able to provide hundreds of thousands of citizens across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with fast and reliable pension services. The PPA itself also benefits from a significantly lower total cost of ownership, coupled with reduced capital and operational expenditure."
