How effectively you manage backup of important data assets is critical to your businesses success, especially as backup windows shrink and data requirements skyrocket. That’s why data deduplication can be such an important technology to consider in your overall data protection strategy. As data is created, distributed, backed up, and archived, duplicate data objects are stored unabated across all storage tiers. The end result is inefficient utilization of data storage resources.

Data deduplication can reduce the amount of disk space you need for backup by 90% or more. That means dramatic savings in space, power, cooling and overall costs. With deduplication, you keep much more backup data on fast-recovery low cost storage than with any conventional disk backup system. You get fast, reliable backup and restores, increase the number of recovery points, and yet use less disk capacity.

Data deduplication can reduce the network bandwidth needed for replication by 90% or more. Deduplication provides automated DR and site-loss protection using existing networks, reduced media handling (especially in distributed environments), and lower costs.
