Data Domain provides an alternative nearline storage solution for NBU customers who are faced with never-ending data growth and unabated storage expansion associated with ballooning amounts of backup and archive data. While NBU is one of the most scalable data protection solutions available to the market, data growth and data retention requirements drive near-continual expansion of NBU storage resources.

The scope of this whitepaper focuses on how the Data Domain deduplication storage solution integrates with standard NBU architectural and operational environments in order to overcome the growing gap between what is actually being accomplished and what needs to be accomplished.
