Backup Deduplication
Reduce backup
volume and improve backup speed
Data deduplication (often called "intelligent compression" or
"single-instance storage") is a method of reducing storage needs by
eliminating redundant data. Only one unique instance of the data is
actually retained on storage media, such as disk or tape. Redundant
data is replaced with a pointer to the unique data copy. For example, a
typical email system might contain 100 instances of the same one
megabyte (MB) file attachment. If the email platform is backed up or
archived, all 100 instances are saved, requiring 100 MB storage space.
With data deduplication, only one instance of the attachment is
actually stored; each subsequent instance is just referenced back to
the one saved copy. In this example, a 100 MB storage demand could be
reduced to only one MB.
Data deduplication offers other benefits. Lower storage space
requirements will save money on disk expenditures. The more efficient
use of disk space also allows for longer disk retention periods, which
provides better recovery time objectives (RTO) for a longer time and
reduces the need for tape backups. Data deduplication also reduces the
data that must be sent across a WAN for remote backups, replication,
and disaster recovery.
Avax offers both hardware and software deduplication solutions:
Hardware deduplication
SPECTRA nTIER Family of Products
The easy way to add disk-to-disk-to-tape to your current backup system.
The nTier unit provides tape library emulation and interim high speed
backup before the de-duplicated data is archived to tape. Use
your existing tape library and backup software while gaining the speed
and advantages of disk-to-disk backup and rapid restores.

DPS1000 Series VTL
By using high-performance, cost-effective disk storage to emulate a
traditional tape library, the DPS1000 Series VTL optimizes performance
of data management operations, providing almost immediate access to
data and dramatically reducing backup and recovery time. The DPS1000 series does not offer deduplication
- instead it uses 10 to 1 Lempel-Ziv Dynamic Data Compression where
each virtual cartridge is compressed up to 10-1 and tuned to be
archived to physical tape. The DPS compression is executed "on
the fly" during the write of the DPS Vtape.
The DPS1000 series is
designed to work exclusively with Tandberg tape libraries.

Software deduplication
Windows backup with deduplication
dS Shield™ Product Family
dataStor Shield™ Windows backup software offers support for
everything from a desktop PC to an entire enterprise. Data
deduplication is standard, offering significant
reductions in the amount of data being copied and the time taken to
complete the backup.
