STORAGE RESEARCH PAPER

Why Deduplication Technology is Causing a Paradigm Shift in Storage Tiering

This recent research paper by TheInfoPro goes in depth as to why deduplication has sustained its #1 position on the TIP Storage Backup and Recovery Technology Heat Index®. 15% of storage organizations have already deployed deduplication technology and 59% of storage organizations are planning to deploy “dedupe” by the end of 2008.

Managing storage growth, capacity reporting and planning, and backup management are the top pain points for most storage organizations. Half of all Fortune 1000 companies require more than 1,000 tapes for a single data center recovery, and deduplication promises to minimize this pain by reducing hardware, complexity and manual effort.

The impact on replication and disaster recovery windows is profound. Deduplication means a lot less data needs transmission to keep the DR site up to date, so much less expensive WAN links may be used. For remote offices, reliance on tapes and physical tape transportation can be eliminated altogether.

Customer benefits of Data Domain deduplication systems:

High capacity, high throughput and green
Cost-effective retention and recovery
Flexible disaster recovery (DR) configuration
Ultimate data integrity
Easy integration into existing environments
Field proven

"When end users describe their backup redesign goals and motivations, they talk about consolidation and the desire to minimize their dependence on tape, while looking to simplify replication and reduce the necessary level of effort expended on backup. Deduplication technology fits squarely with these goals."
