Data Domain Global Compression

Simplifying Data Protection with Core Technology Advantages

Data Domain Global Compression technology combines an exceptionally efficient, high performance inline deduplication technology with a local compression technique. The deduplication technology reduces data down to its raw essentials by pooling redundant patterns within a file, across files, and even within a block, and stores only unique data segments. Local compression scans the unique data sequence across a local small window of comparison like a tape drive.

Key Benefits of Global Compression

• Maximum data reduction, averaging 20x data reduction over time, which minimizes the physical storage capacity required for storing backup images.
• Extended retention with petabytes (PB) of protection storage, Data Domain systems offer up to 28 PB of useable capacity in a very small footprint.
• Economy of tape by storing multiple months of backup images for less than $0.35/GB. This extended retention also optimizes performance of both backup and recoveries without making any tradeoffs.
• Network-efficent replication by transferring only unique data segments, reducing bandwidth requirements by as much as 99%.
