Data Deduplication

If 181 sales reps received a new 7.7 Mb PowerPoint deck yesterday, what do you have today? About 1.5 Gb less storage space. Gone just like that. It's no wonder that storage and bandwidth spending is ballooning at many companies—and no wonder that customers are asking about our Hi-Touch Data Deduplication Service.

An intelligent ditto mark that yields eye-opening savings. The idea is simple: our inline deduplication appliances compare segments of your incoming data to previously stored data. Instead of rewriting duplicates, it writes a marker pointing to the original.

If you store large volumes of data on disk or send large volumes of data across the wire, it's an ideal cost-cutting measure.

Benefits

• See gains of 30-70% in freed storage space
• Lower costs of disk acquisition, power, space and cooling—and reduce your IT operations carbon footprint
• Cut bandwidth costs by sending smaller volumes of data over the wire for remote backups, replication and disaster recovery
• Improve RTOs and reduce tape backups thanks to longer disk retention

As you would expect, there's no duplication of effort required on your part.
