RDS Guidelines

For best results, observe the following guidelines for optimal performance with your supported RDS operations with the
DR Series system:
• Back up, restore, and optimized duplication operations performed using the Dell ROFS plug-in
NOTA: The Dell ROFS plug-in is installed on client systems to support client-side deduplication.
• Optimal supported aggregated throughput rates:
– 3.8 Terabytes per hour (TB/hr) for passthrough write operations
– 7.3 TB/hr for dedupe write operations
NOTA: Passthrough writes are when data is sent from a media server to the DR Series system without
applying any optimization to the data. By contrast, dedupe writes are when data is sent from a media
server to the DR Series system after optimization is applied to the data.
• Backup:
– Passthrough writes
– Dedupe writes
• Restore
• Replication

Best Practices: RDS and the DR Series System

This topic introduces some recommended best practices for using Rapid Data Storage (RDS) operations with the DR
Series system.
RDS and non- The DR Series system supports having both RDS and non-RDS containers on the same
RDS containers appliance. However, this can cause incorrect capacity reporting as both container types share
can exist on the the same underlying storage.

Setting Client-Side Optimization

Client-side optimization is a process that can contribute to saving time performing backup operations and reducing the
data transfer overhead on the network.
