Storage is managed in a single pool via a web administration console front end that communicates with a back end server appliance that can be housed in a virtual machine (VM), or dedicated hardware. For connectivity, a range of 6-96 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports and an Open Management APIs are available to integrate with 3rd party utilities. VirtuoSO can support 4-8 parallel streams when backing up Oracle for the fastest possible solution with post-process deduplication. Compressed or encrypted data can be backed up either with or without deduplication and very fast file server backups with inline deduplication.
