Description:
IT users discuss how they have implemented deduplication storage into their data protection environment and detail the benefits and return on investment. Each company was able to significantly reduce or eliminate tape at their remote office locations and go to a disk-based retention and replication solution that saved time and money, while making the entire system much more reliable.
Common benefits include:
Centralized DR
-
Automated backup and recovery
-
Tape reduction or elimination
-
Fast backups and restores; average compression of 25x
-
Verified data availability during backup
-
Reliable restores
"The root cause of the problem is WAN limitations. If we can remove that bottleneck, we can enable IT organizations to continue server and storage consolidation and ensure LAN-like speed for application performance. We get the best of both worlds."
—Feng Meng, Product Marketing Manager, Cisco Wide Area Application Services
