Though data deduplication technologies have been around for years, there is a renewed focus on them recently as they are being utilized by products in the disk-based backup market. Data deduplication enables disk to be a feasible long-term retention backup media -- making it the same or lower cost than tape-based systems.

But as with any technology, each data deduplication method has uses for which it is the best choice. This white paper explores how one company may provide the best method and offers several important advantages.

Read this white paper to learn more about the different methods of data deduplication and how this solution offers important benefits, such as

• Allows for the shortest possible backup window
• Capabilities for instant data restores
• Enables specific backup optimizations
• Scales to larger amounts of data
