FWIW, the iDPA configurations that I have worked on all included a Data Domain as a "lower assembly". So relative to that, the iDPA would provide all of its respective features, including the Data Domain associated ones, whereas of course, the Data Domain alone would only provide its own features.
I have been tasked with composing a briefing regarding the EMC storage lines of products; the most important ones are those for data backup. What are the main differences between the IDPA and the DD line? Also, what OS does IDPA run? I can't seemingly find that info anywhere. Thanks for the help, guys.
IDPA VS. DataDomain
