IT Consulting for Deduplication
Keeping Pace With Data Growth
The amount of data being stored, managed and protected in data centers is rapidly growing and, in many cases, pushing storage capacity to the limit. Data deduplication can reduce storage capacity — meaning a decrease in disk capacity, power/cooling and space requirements. Smaller data stores can result in shorter backup times and reduced network bandwidth requirements — improving backup performance/availability and making disaster recovery tasks more manageable.
Deduplication is best considered as one aspect of an overall storage optimization strategy, with the consideration that a one-size-fits-all solution that is not optimized for your environment can be disruptive, costly and time consuming. The optimal solution and subsequent benefits can vary widely across environments.
