One of the most important services that Vital Support
Systems provides is access to its demonstration
center in Kansas City, Mo. There, the firm uses a
predominantly HP infrastructure to demonstrate
proposed solutions for clients, troubleshoot client
problems and torture-test new products – before
recommending them to customers.

When the firm’s Systems Engineer Phil Thayer learned
of the chance to test drive the new HP StorageWorks
D2D4000 Backup System, he didn’t hesitate: “We
already had an HP StorageWorks Virtual Library
System (VLS) in our demo center, so we were very
curious about the new HP StorageWorks D2D Backup
Solution. HP presented the system as a solution for the
SMB market, which really piqued our interest. I would
say almost every client we are working with right now
faces similar storage-management challenges: too
little time for backups and exponential data growth.”

The HP StorageWorks D2D4000 Backup System is
a disk-based virtual tape library that sits between
networked servers and a physical tape library or
tape drive, providing faster backups, improved data
availability, and rapid restores. The system’s dynamic
“deduplication” feature can reduce the disk space
required by backups by up to 50x, depending on the
type of data. Put simply, data deduplication offers the
ability to store more on a given amount of storage
and replicate data using lower bandwidth links at a
significantly reduced cost.

Less is better
“In our initial testing, we experienced a 10:1 data
reduction, which is a pretty good start,” Thayer
observes. “We would expect that to increase over
time as the system sees more and more repeat data.
Customers with large database systems should
experience even greater data reduction; up to 50:1 is
possible.”

Thayer also believes that integration of the HP
StorageWorks D2D Backup System with customer
environments will be a painless process: “The target
server sees the system as just another tape drive.
The system is extremely easy to set up. I had it out of
the box, racked and running a backup in less than
two hours. Given the set-up wizard, GUI control and
high level of automation, we anticipate that many
customers will be able to set up and use this system
on their own without our assistance.”
