Features and components of the NetBackup Appliance

This section describes the features and components of the NetBackup Appliance.

Table: NetBackup Appliance features

Feature

Description

Processor

Two (2) Intel® Xenon® E5-2630 v3 2.40GHz processors, or two (2) Intel® Xenon® E5-2630 v4 2.20GHz processors.

Appliance software version

Version 3.0 or higher

Note:

For the latest NetBackup Appliance compatibility information, refer to the NetBackup Hardware Compatibility List posted on the following site:

http://www.veritas.com/docs/000033647

Performance and capacity

  • Supports high-performance processors with low-power consumption.

  • Provides high-capacity intra-appliance switching bandwidth, along with high I/O throughput.

  • Available internal storage capacities of 4TBs, 14TBs, or 27 TBs without optional external storage shelves. The available capacity can be allocated either in part or in whole to a deduplication pool or to an AdvancedDisk pool (non-deduplicated storage).

System memory configuration (DDR4, RDIMM)

64 GB, up to a maximum of 192GBs

Note:

When you purchase the first expansion storage shelf, the Storage Expansion kit that comes with the storage shelf includes an additional 64 GBs of memory.

After adding the first storage shelf and the memory, you can increase the appliance memory to 192 GBs by purchasing an additional 64-GB memory kit.

Space reduction

The deduplication engine provides up to 100 times reduction in storage. The client-side plug-in provides similar levels of bandwidth reduction.

Scalable architecture

Due to fingerprinting and RAID redundancy, the overall storage capabilities are not a simple multiplication of the disk size and the total number of disks.

High availability

Supports redundant hot-swappable disks and power modules.

RAID levels

RAID 1 (standard mirroring) and RAID 6 (block level striping with double distributed parity) are implemented as follows:

  • Appliance system disks: RAID 1

  • Appliance storage disks: RAID 6

  • Storage shelf data storage disks: RAID 6

Note:

The disk drives in the appliance are pre-formatted before the appliance is shipped. These drives should not be moved into different slots or otherwise rearranged.

Fibre Channel support

The NetBackup Appliance can be ordered with one to five PCIe 8 Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapter cards preinstalled. PCIe 10 Gb Ethernet cards with Fibre Channel ports are also available.

Rear panel ports

See NetBackup Appliance rear panel.

Additional storage

Yes

You can attach up to four optional storage shelves to the NetBackup Appliance. Depending on the appliance configuration you purchase, a total of 201 TBs of usable storage capacity is available.

See Usable appliance storage capacities.
