“To dramatically increase backup speeds and reduce the complexity of recovery during a disaster,” Nexsan states, “the redundant appliances offer backup server connections of up to 5.4 terabytes per hour and support for Symantec OST.”
Bob Woolery, senior vice president of marketing for Nexsan, says the DeDupe provide a “cost-effective solution for high availability and continuous data access.”
