Deduplication has had the biggest impact in the data protection industry since the invention of tape libraries. It is a form of compression that allows the size of stored data to be drastically reduced. It was designed for situations where many copies of the same files (e-mails, documents, spreadsheets, etc.) exist throughout an organization. Without deduplication, all the instances of these files are backed up, which takes up valuable system resources.
Deduplication is fast becoming a critical component of data storage strategies everywhere, given the extraordinary amounts of redundant data generated by a growing number of business applications.
Network Storage was an early adopter of this technology as a Data Domain partner and we have helped dozens of clients protect, restore and replicate data more efficiently.
