The first era of deduplication focused on building a stack of products that provided a single point of deduplication.

But these products lacked the scalability necessary for today's IT environments, and required repeated duplication and rehydration of the data when passed between incompatible deduplication technologies. In addition to adding complexity and management overhead, such siloed solutions introduced the risk of bottlenecks and single points of failure.

This white paper explores the new generation of dedupe solutions which scale easily, offer improved performance and availability, and simplify management and integration within the IT storage infrastructure. Read now to learn how you optimize your deduplication:

• Apply a single, enterprise-wide dedupe technology across many backup platforms
• Transfer deduplicated data from one location to another without having to rehydrate it and deduplicate it again at the receiving end
• Shift a failing backup job to a different set of resources so the backup can be completed
• And more
