About MSDP deduplication nodes
A media server deduplication node comprises the following:
|
Storage server |
The storage server deduplicates the backups, writes the data to the storage, and manages the storage.
|
|
Load balancing servers |
Load balancing servers assist the storage server by deduplicating backups. Load balancing servers are optional. |
|
Storage | |
|
Clients |
The clients may include the clients that deduplicate their own data (Client Direct).
|
Multiple media server deduplication nodes can exist. Nodes cannot share servers or storage.
Each node manages its own storage. Deduplication within each node is supported; deduplication between nodes is not supported.
