Data Deduplication
Focused on meeting the challenges of storing, protecting and managing the ever-explosive growth of backup data, deduplication technologies have become an essential part of data management.
ACS provides end-to-end, disk-based data protection and deduplication solutions, dramatically reducing storage requirements and costs. Our specialist data storage consultants are highly experienced in all leading backup and recovery products and can offer advice and guidance along with design and implementation skills as required. At its most basic level, data deduplication identifies redundant instances of backup data at a subfile or block level and can in some cases reduce backup storage consumption by anywhere between 10 to 50 times. So in addition to streamlining the backup process, data deduplication technology can reset resource and bandwidth expectation and improve back-up and recovery performance.
If you are unsure just what the mix of physical and virtual tape should be, where disk storage is appropriate and how deduplication would work in your precise environment, ACS’s data storage consultants are able to use tools which are able to predict with high accuracy the likely outcome of a backup design before commencement of the project. Many clients have saved considerable sums simply by using these tools to verify what vendors have told them.
Even in a tough economic climate, data is the one aspect of business that continues to proliferate and will continue to require strict management. Deduplication technologies allow you to plan and use capacity effectively with minimum wastage and help you discover newly-redundant data storage that can be reclaimed for new projects or surplus that can be divested.
Even if you do have a deduplication solution in place, how effective is it? Are you seeing the reductions and improvements that you were promised by your provider? Deduplication technologies provided by ACS will help streamline and consolidate your stored data, reducing your overall storage requirement and associated management costs.
