IT Projects: Data Deduplication

Definition

Reduce storage needs with data deduplication by eliminating redundant data so that only one unique instance of the data is actually retained on storage media, such as disk or tape.

Challenges

Avoiding loss of business productivity due to rapid data growth, limited IT resources, and shrinking backup windows
Lowering the high costs associated with the capital investments in storage hardware
Lowering the operation costs of managing rapidly expanding data volumes
Managing the increasingly complex environments that require many backup and recovery products and personnel

Symantec Solution: Data Protection

Prepare for and recover from the effects of equipment failure or accidental loss of data with consistent and reliable data protection that improves the efficiency of systems and staff.

Reduce the amount of disk storage needed for backup by 90 percent or more
Reduce the amount of data moving through the data center by moving deduplication technology closer to information sources
Reduce data management complexity by providing centralized management for all forms of deduplication, both Symantec and partner technologies
Reduce infrastructure by using deduplication to improve the return on server virtualization by providing storage consolidation, efficient virtual server protection, and simplified management
