Data Deduplication, Backup, Disaster Recovery, Archive, and Tape Elimination in 500 Words or Less: Part 1 of 5

• Data Deduplication
  • Data deduplication is one of the most disruptive technology features to affect enterprise backup. This technology feature makes disk economical for backup data storage, and opens up options for remote site and core data center replication, previously unavailable. Software and hardware based deduplication have distinct differences in terms of scale/performance/capacity, and should be applied appropriately to production backup needs. The vendors are typically very aggressive positioning all technologies to do all things, and the amount of vendor hype, poor information, and quasi-solution designing is absolutely staggering.
