Re: [PLUG] Vendor interested in giving a talk to PLUG

[Lee Marzke <lee@marzke.net>]

I've been a PHD business partner for a while now doing installation 
support for them.
It's a great product that does de-duplication for ESX backups very 
inexpensively.

Most of the interface is still console/curses based,  but slowly 
migrating more and more to the
web interface.

My take:   This product has a very good core engine - and the GUI is 
slowly catching up to match.

It's interesting because it's distributed, partly running on each ESX 
host,  while other parts run
in management 'VM's or in  'Virtual Backup Appliance'  VMs.   The # of 
VM's scale as the number
of hosts increase.     I've also seen 20:1 compression in practice due 
to the de-duplication.
