Dave Russell outlines how disk-based systems can dramatically improve the reliability and speed of data recovery while lowering IT costs.

Dave addresses several topics, including:

  • The role of tape versus disk-based systems
  • How data deduplication can optimize capital and operational expenditures
  • Critical components of a sound deduplication platform
  • 5 key recommendations when considering deduplication

John Thomas shares the real world benefits his firm has realized by implementing deduplication technology as a key ingredient of their global data management strategy. Troutman Sanders eliminated tape at 11 of their 12 sites, resulting in reduced costs and improved speed and reliability. Other benefits include

  • Centralized disaster recovery (DR)
  • Automated backup and replicationM
  • Faster time to DR

Data Domain CEO Frank Slootman provides his unique perspective on why customers are choosing deduplication storage systems to protect their enterprise data.

“We are averaging compression of 25-45x, which allows us to keep a significant amount of data online. Data is verified at time of write, so we can be confident that out backups are good. We can do reliable restores in a very short period of time.The cost savings have been much more than we had anticipated.”
