Data Deduplication in the Enterprise
The Challenge
Storage requirements for organizations are growing exponentially, with digital information being created or replicated at 60% or greater compound annual growth rates. That’s a 10 fold increase in the amount of data a company needs to manage over a five year period. How do you keep pace with that kind of growth when power, cooling and floor space simply can’t grow at the same rate? How do you manage all that new data while maintaining IT Opex and Capex budgets?
The Solution
How do you keep pace with the phenomenal growth of data in the environment? By only storing unique data once – and treating data as byte patterns or blocks rather than files or objects. While applications may own data, how that data is stored can be virtualized so that applications aren’t impacted, while dramatically reducing the amount of real physical storage required. This virtualization replaces duplicate byte patterns or blocks with pointers (metadata), without proprietary API’s or modifications to applications; and this naturally reduces costs and management overhead.
Where can it benefit you
Significant savings in storage capacity and network bandwidth can be achieved through the implementation of this technology at a variety of touch points within an organizations IT infrastructure.
