Data De-Duplication

Why consider data de-duplication?

How effectively you manage backup of important data assets is critical to business success, especially as backup windows shrink and data requirements skyrocket. That’s why data de-duplication is such an important technology to consider in your overall data protection strategy.

HOW DOES IT BENEFIT YOUR BUSINESS?

Data de-duplication reduces 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 de-duplication, you keep much more backup data on fast-recovery RAID arrays than with any conventional disk backup system. You get fast, reliable backup and restores, increase the number of recovery points, yet use less disk capacity.

Data de-duplication reduces the network bandwidth needed for replication by 90% or more. De-duplication provides automated DR and site-loss protection using existing networks, reduced media handling (especially in distributed environments), and lower costs. It finally makes WAN-based replication a practical solution for DR protection.

WHY QUANTUM FOR DE-DUPLICATION?
Quantum has long been an innovator in disk-based backup and data de-duplication technology. We developed the pioneering patent for variable-length block data de-duplication, and we provide data de-duplication solutions that protect a full range of environments – from small distributed offices to the largest enterprise data centers.

Quantum offers disk backup and remote replication solutions that leverage the industry’s most advanced data de-duplication technology, providing:

Industry-leading performance to help you complete critical jobs during short backup windows

Support for data de-duplication both at ingest and as a post-process for maximum flexibility

Direct tape creation for fast, automated creation of removable media

A high-availability architecture to eliminate single points of failure

Scalability to match the needs of the distributed enterprise

Quantum’s solutions allow data de-duplication technology to become part of a complete backup and retention solution set that also includes conventional disk backup, tape, replication, and encryption, all supported with common management tools and consolidated service and support.

Data De-duplication technology dramatically increases the power of disk to support backup, data retention and disaster recovery planning. From the DXi-Series disk-based backup and replication appliances to the highly portable GoVault Data Protection solution, Quantum has data de-duplication solutions for enterprises of any size.
