Hardware performance

Balanced and combined application of hardware components is required for optimum performance in data backup. This principally requires:

• storage systems such as ETERNUS JX, DX, AF or Net-Storage

• tape storage systems such as ETERNUS LT or MTC archive systems

The backup performance is determined by the lowest throughput value of the hardware components involved.

The configuration of such systems must be geared to the scope of the backup and the time windows available for data backup.

The general recommendations for the peripherals (see section "Recommendations for high-performance operation of storage systems") also apply for data backup.

A certain share of the CPU performance of the BS2000 CPU is also required for data backup.
