Technology Feature of the Month —
Disk-Based Backup

Data Domain’s inline data deduplication and replication technologies offer data reduction rates that enable new efficiencies in enterprise data protection. The company’s products and solutions integrate into customers’ existing infrastructure and are compatible with leading enterprise backup software products.

Founded in 2001, Data Domain is a pioneer in the capacity optimized storage (COS) technology market. Using its Global Compression™, high-speed inline deduplication technology, Data Domain systems can store several months of backup and recovery data at a price point equivalent or lower than tape. How? Massive data deduplication and compression. On average, 10x-30x data reduction rates are achieved at very high throughput rates, shrinking data volume to an absolute minimum, dramatically reducing storage needs.
