See What are the Alternatives? for more discussion of the other potential players in your backup environment. HP VLS and D2D Portfolio HP offers a wide range of disk-based backup products to help organizations meet their data protection challenges. Moving the front line of data protection from tape to disk reduces administrative overhead; daily backups are entirely automated and involve no tape handling to provide better backup reliability and less worry. The entry level D2D100 series Backup System meets the needs of small businesses as a low-cost solution that does not incorporate deduplication technology. The D2D2500 is well suited for remote and branch offices and small IT environments, while the more powerful D2D4000 and D2D4100 are designed for medium-sized companies and small data centers. The D2D2500, D2D4000 and D2D4100 products include HP Dynamic deduplication, which provides low cost and flexibility to meet the needs of smaller IT environments. HP Virtual Library Systems are known for their easy integration, simple management, performance and capacity scalability, and fast restores. The VLS6000, VLS9000 and VLS12000 EVA Gateway are designed for medium to large-scale enterprises. They feature Accelerated deduplication, available by license, to deliver the best backup performance and scalability for high availability data center environments. 16 Concepts
