WHITE PAPER

What Data Domain is Doing to Storage

Author: Steve Duplessie, Founder and Senior Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group
This paper outlines the impact of data deduplication on data protection, and specifically how Data Domain pioneered the combination of storage system interfaces and software to make the disk-based solution an efficient and cost-effective alternative to tape-based methods.

Market research referenced in this paper shows how the rapid adoption of data deduplication has dramatically affected operating efficiencies, simplified remote office data protection, and made disaster recovery significantly more affordable and realistic. Customers now realize they do not have to keep buying more and more storage capacity as there are more efficient ways to store and manage information—especially in secondary storage environments.

“Now, tiered storage deployments with ATA-based devices are commonplace. In some instances, deduplication storage emulates tape so customers do not have to change their backup processes, while other implementations serve as a target for bulk online or nearline storage. With seamless integration into existing operations, the deduplication storage tier is quickly becoming the place where companies retain all types of persistent, inactive information, such as backups, archives, or other infrequently accessed data assets.”
