This paper describes ten reasons to deduplicate data with CommVault^® which maximize flexibility and storage cost-efficiency, rapid data access & recovery and improves manageability and performance. 

Continuous data protection (CDP) represents the future of data backup as companies look to provide near real-time recovery points to enterprise applications. However, CDP software is still in various stages of development, while near-CDP (frequent snapshots) software is already mature and available on many operating and storage systems. 

This report covers the primary means of gaining efficiency across the business and IT enterprise. It's realized by consolidating infrastructure and data, both physically and virtually.
