Want More Details on How EMC Fared Against NetBackup? FINDINGS: NETBACKUP IS 1.7X FASTER THAN EMC WHEN PERFORMING A GRANULAR RECOVERY BACKUP. RESULTS FOR: GRANULAR RECOVERY 9:00 7:00 8:00 6:00 5:00 4:00 3:00 2:00 1:00 0:00 4:46 8:30 NetBackup enables granular recovery through a single-pass backup. EMC requires multiple steps to enable granular recovery. 1X 2X SPEED TEST Principled Technologies’ benchmark results show that in a growing enterprise data center using VMware, NetBackup will scale significantly better than EMC. NetBackup EMC RESULTS HYPERVISOR-LEVEL BACKUP & RECOVERY ARRAY-BASED SNAPSHOTS GRANULAR RECOVERY “ NetBackup IS THE MOST SCALABLE BACKUP & RECOVERY SOLUTION ” RESULTS FOR: ARRAY-BASED SNAPSHOTS 16:00 18:00 14:00 12:00 10:00 8:00 6:00 4:00 2:00 0:00 5:04 5:17 6:30 8:28 100 VMs 200 VMs 500 VMs 1,000 VMs TOTAL TIME TO COMPLETE backup (Minutes:Seconds) Snapshots can be used to create quicker Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and more aggressive Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs). In less than 9 minutes NetBackup’s snapshot technology backed up 1,000 Virtual Machines. NetBackup is a leader in snapshot technology, while EMC does not support array-based snapshot integration for VMware workloads. FINDINGS: NETBACKUP REQUIRES LESS THAN 9 MINUTES TO BACK UP 1,000 VMS USING ARRAY-BASED SNAPSHOTS. EMC DOES NOT SUPPORT ARRAY-BASED SNAPSHOTS. FINDINGS: NETBACKUP IS 3X FASTER THAN EMC WHEN BACKING UP 1,000 VMS. SPEED RESULTS FOR: HYPERVISOR-LEVEL BACKUP 8:00 9:00 7:00 6:00 5:00 4:00 3:00 2:00 1:00 0:00 0:25 2:18 0:43 1:11 2:51 3:58 8:36 NetBackup EMC 5:22 100 VMs 200 VMs 400 VMs 1,000 VMs Lower times are better when it comes to backup windows. NetBackup saves time, especially in large scale environments. As the environment scaled from 100 to 200, 400 and then 1,000 virtual machines, there were dramatic increases in the time required by EMC to perform the backups.
