De-Duplication
Data deduplication is an important technology to have, to help you control data proliferation and can help you dramatically reduce your overall backup and restore costs by allowing greater retention of backup data on disk.Taking advantage of highly efficient data deduplication technologies from the likes of Data Domain, Diligent, Overland and NetApp will allow you to economically store typically 25x more backup data.
When choosing a solution it is important to understand the different types of deduplication and which is best for what application i.e. VTL , primary storage etc. These different methodologies include:
(1) In-Line Processing Data de-duplication
(2) Post Processing Data de-duplication
(3) Parallel Processing I/O de-duplication
