Rapid NFS and Rapid CIFS Benefits
When Rapid
NFS and Rapid CIFS are used with the DR Series system, they offer
the following benefits:
- Reduce network utilization and DMA backup time
-
Chunk data and perform hash computation on the client; transfer chunked hash files on the back-end
-
Reduce the amount of data that must be written across the wire
-
- Improve performance
- Support DMAs such as CommVault, EMC Networker, and Tivoli Storage Manager. For the current list of supported DMAs, see the Dell DR Series System Interoperability Guide .
-
Compatible with existing NFS and CIFS clients — just need to install a plug-in (driver) on the client
-
Can use Rapid NFS and Rapid CIFS to accelerate I/O operations on any client — including a client that uses home-grown backup scripts
-
Can service multiple and concurrent media server backups
