Thought these were fun. Yes they are propaganda but it's a good way to describe to a non-IT person what Symantec (or you) do with infrastructure software.
How deduplication can contribute to the restore process….
A couple of days back, whilegiving a PureDisk lecture, I got into an interesting discussion about howdeduplication technologies pop up at different levels: deduplication at the source, at the target,at a gateway level, or built into the application. You name it; they are allavailable and focused on incredible numbers pushed by dedup enthusiasts.
In the case of the backupsolutions, the focus seems primarily on dedup savings during the backupprocess, where higher deduplication rates can deliver higher backupthroughputs, reduce backup time, and support much longer retention on disk. Allare correct and very efficient, don't get me wrong, as I'm one of thoseenthusiasts, but what about the restore process? That is where thediscussion touched an interesting subject...
Can deduplication be used toimprove the restore speed? The answer is Yes!
