The purpose of data deduplication is to increase the amount of information that can be stored on disk arrays and to increase the effective amount of data that can be transmitted over networks. Read this white paper to learn more about data deduplication as well as Quantum Dxi-Series disk-based backup solutions. 

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 paper introduces three techniques employed in the production Data Domain deduplication file system and shows how they can be used to relieve the disk bottleneck. 

Customers are confronting the confusing number of options and configurations when it comes to backing up and restoring their network attached storage servers. This paper addresses this by describing the best practices for protecting and recovering NAS devices utilizing the Network Data Management Protocol. 

This paper compares traditional data protection options and provides an overview of the impact data deduplication is having on the storage industry. Deduplication is quickly gaining momentum in the growing disk-to-disk backup market and offers several significant improvements over traditional data protection methods. 

With throughput and seek times faster than disk arrays, data centers are including NAND flash as part of their server infrastructure. Fusion-io offers solid state storage solutions with NAND flash that provides integrity for data exceeding today's solid state storage solutions and surpasses enterprise-class rotating magnetic storage devices. 

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

The economic downturn is no time to compromise on data availability, especially when storage virtualization software has made it possible to eliminate costly, storage-related downtime without paying a premium. 

The challenge of saving power while maintaining server performance has become a primary concern within the IT environment. But, the latest generation of Adaptec RAID controllers provides Intelligent Power Management software and supports a variety of techniques that, together, enable significant savings without compromising performance. 

This white paper presents some of the more significant pros and cons of the Server 2008 version of the backup tool that debuted in Windows Vista. 

Direct PCI Express (PCIe) attached flash storage offers unparalleled performance levels and vastly outperforms SAS/SATA-attached flash storage solutions. However, such PCIe attached flash storage cards have many restrictions. Read this white paper to learn about an enhanced PCIe flash storage solution from Dolphin, in partnership with Fusion-IO. 

Flash storage is now a top contender for new enterprise storage applications. The I/O randomization caused by widespread virtual machine adoption demands higher I/O performance. Faster than disks, cheaper than DRAM, flash is occupying a new layer in the storage pyramid. Read this paper to further investigate flash storage. 

A robust enterprise cloud should not be focused myopically on CPUs, memory, disks, and a range of IP addressees. Businesses instead should include the nine attributes presented in this paper when formulating an enterprise cloud platform strategy.
