Avamar vs. Data Domain

[italianjoe69]

I know this is off topic, but I wasn't sure where else to put this.
Does anyone have any experience with an Avamar or Data Domain solution?
What are your thoughts of each?
What limitations have you found? What is the administration of each like?
Also, has anyone used an Avamar solution with NetBackup?
TIA for any and all input.

The difference between Avamar and Data Domain is in the
hashing logics.and also the compression logics used on the backup client side.

Avamar hashing logic is more efficient.
Also the compression logic used by Data Domain is too
"cpu intensive"

Therefore Avamar would be a better choice.
