Deduplication
• Data deduplication is a technique for eliminating duplicate copies of

repeating data. In the deduplication process, unique chunks of data, or
byte patterns, are identified and stored during a process of analysis.
• Data Domain uses Inline deduplication

Inline vs Post-Process Deduplication
• Inline deduplication:
Reduces redundant data before or while
it is sent to the backup device , it deduplicate before storing.
• post-process:
Backs up data first and then reduces it, it deduplicate after
storing

Upgrade DD3300 4TB to 16TB steps
• Upgrade DD3300 4TB to 16TB consists of the following:
– Adding six disk drives to the front of the system.
– Adding the SSD to the rear of the system.
– Adding 4 x 8 GB DIMMs.
• Upgrade DD3300 8TB to 16TB consists of the following:

– The capacity expansion from 8 TB to 16 TB consists of licensing and configuring the
additional storage capacity. The 8 TB to 16 TB expansion does not require any hardware
changes.
• Upgrade DD3300 16TB to 32 TB consists of the following:

– Adding two disk drives to the front of the system.
– Adding four disk drives to the mid-mounted hard drive tray.
– Adding 2 x 8 GB DIMMs.
