The user backup client has sufficient resources and the production network resources are relatively tight. The amount of data scheduled to be backed up weekly is 1-2T. The backup window is 3 hours, using source-side de-duplication, deduplication ratio of 3, the bandwidth utilization value of 0.8. Based on this, what kind of networking can meet the backup business needs and investment least?
