Data de-duplication eliminates redundant data, saving valuable storage space, also it may be deployed via hardware- or software-based approaches-each having advantages and trade-offs. 

This document describes the Sun reference architecture for next-generation data backup using Symantec NetBackup software. 

This whitepaper examines and quantifies the costs and benefits of backup with deduplication storage as strategic assets for data protection. Three organizations in different industries are discussed as case studies. 

Deduplication has become an essential tool to control exponential data growth. This article will describe the techniques being used today to deduplicate data and will highlight considerations for choosing the best technology for your environment. 

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure enables end users or their hosting providers to provision and manage hundreds of individual, virtual desktops from a set of centrally administered, consolidated servers. 

When you resume business after a disruption, you want to pick up where you left off. That means minutes, or even seconds, before the lights went out or the computer virus struck. If your business is aiming for zero data loss and zero downtime, there's only one choice - continuous data protection (CDP). 

In this white paper, you will learn about some of the underlying technology and architecture behind the capabilities of Concentric Managed Backup. Technical decision-makers should come away from this document with a deeper knowledge of the Concentric Managed Backup platform and its overall architecture. 

VMware's latest enterprise-level hypervisor product suite, vSphere, includes many new features and technological enhancements over its predecessor, VMware Infrastructure 3 (VI3). This white paper focuses on how VMware improved various storage technologies, how they relate to data backup and recovery, and more. 

Disk-based backup systems fundamentally change the way we do backup and recovery. But the key is to treat disk as disk and not as tape. Solutions need to recognize the intelligent features of disk and take advantage of those features.
