NetWorker 9.1 – Lab Performance Test ResultSoftware For The Modern Data Center
vproxy deployment Less than 5 mins to deploy and configure
Full Backups 1 hour to protect 100 Virtual machines of avg. size 30-40 GB
Image recover as new VM
85 mins to recover 100 VMs (avg. size of 30-40 GB)
Revert VM 50 mins to revert back 100 VMs (data changed in revert 3-5%)
Instant Restore 6 mins to recover 32 VMs with DD OS 6.0 (excluding the time taken to migrate VMs via storage vmotion)
Clone (full) 120 mins to clone 500 VMs full backup to secondary DD avg. VM size ~30-40Gb
Scale per NW server 6000 VMs spread across 4 vCenters; avg VM data size is 25GB
Scale per vCenter 2000 VMs protected from a single vCenter
Scaled full backups 4 hours to backup 1000 VMs from single vCenter full backup (DD was shared across teams, hence backup time is with de-dupe factor)
