Build your own DPM Appliance
One thing I have to say about DPM , it is requires a lot of lot of disk space , if you are small medium business with large data storage to be backed up and want to implement DPM with less money of course , you need to consider to build your own DPM server.
Building your own DPM server doesn't mean getting all the components and build a server as these old days, this what you can do.
Dell offers the PowerEdge R200 with 8 GB ram and mirrored SAS drive with 10K RPM and QNAP offers the TS-809U-RP Turbo NAS that offers 14 TB on RAID 5. combining both Hardware you can build your own DPM appliance for less than 6000 $.
