This paper examines the impact of de-duplication in a disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) backup and recovery environment. 

Backing up to disk instead of tape eliminates the hassles of tape, provides faster backups and restores, improves security and streamlines operations. Learn about the 7 critical questions to ask when considering a move to disk-based backup. 

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. 

Because their IT department couldn’t guarantee prompt, efficient data restores, Kerzner International centralize backups by combining SyncSort with NetApp storage. The result was quicker and more efficient restores. 

EchoStream for AIX is a proven solution to the data recovery problem that is in use at a variety of referenceable accounts today. 

Knowing how much disk capacity you have allocated, how much is actually being used and what's left and available are basics for disk system management. In this presentation transcript, Brian Greenberg President and CEO, General System Dynamics, discusses the tools and best practices that are key to managing disk capacity. 

Review the comparisons in this paper and learn the various ways that moving to disk-based backup and data protection solutions – as onsite software, SaaS or managed service – can be the smart move for your company. 

This presentation transcript explores the primary technological differences inherent in the various forms of data deduplication currently available. 

Disk-to-Disk (D2D) backup has emerged in recent years to become a critical storage component of an enterprises’ data protection environment. Taneja Group has identified a locus of buying criteria that we believe compose the overall simplicity of operation of a D2D solution. 

This paper presents a set of techniques to substantially reduce disk I/Os in high-throughput deduplication storage systems. These techniques are general methods to improve throughput performance of deduplication storage systems. 

This whitepaper explores the limitations of tape and traditional disk-based approaches to disaster recovery. It highlights the advantages of deduplication technology in disk-to-disk backup and wide area network (WAN) replication. It also discusses the positive implications of deduplication for remote office backup and tape consolidation. 

Disk-based backup, deduplication, and MAID are three of the most talked about technologies in the storage industry—each is so popular that organizations often purchase them individually just to see the capabilities they can bring to their environments. Now, all three are available in Nexsan's DeDupe SG—an integrated system from Nexsan & FalconStor. 

Watch this illuminating video to learn more about data deduplication as well as how the Quantum DXi-Series disk backup and replication solutions leverage data deduplication technology to dramatically shrink your disk requirements and enable remote replication replication as a disaster recovery technique.
