Data Domain
From its inception, Data Domain has helped customers reduce or eliminate the use of tape infrastructures with a very efficient disk- and network-based data protection alternative. Today, Data Domain customers are expanding the use of their systems to include a broad range of nearline workloads and use cases beyond data protection. In essence, Data Domain’s file system technology represents a new generation of data versioning and replication efficiency. Data Domain’s strategy is to continue bringing new storage and network efficiencies to the enterprise data storage arena on a single, integrated product platform to improve storage economics and simplify data management for its customers.
Data Domain deduplication storage systems optimize data protection and disaster recovery (DR) performance. Data Domain offers a comprehensive range of products to meet the nearline storage needs of enterprises of all sizes, as they seek to reduce costs and simplify data management. Data Domain systems support all leading enterprise backup and archiving applications for seamless integration into existing IT infrastructures.

Deduplication comes in many forms from many vendors – but which one is right for you? Inline, post-process, client-side, data in-flight? Scalar Decisions works with several vendors that provide solutions which perform deduplication – some as a primary feature, others as a secondary one. In all cases, many benefits may be realized but only when properly architected – and it goes without saying that not all products are created equal. Our experience with implementing and supporting multiple solutions from a variety of vendors coupled with real world customer experience gives us the edge we need to ensure that you get the results you’re looking for – whether it is bandwidth, storage capacity, performance and availability, or rack, power and cooling.
