Data deduplication technologies are appealing for many reasons, but mostly because when implemented correctly, a dedupe deployment can result in cut costs, opened capacity and improved efficiency. Dedupe has clearly become a "must-have" in modern IT.

This paper explains how dedupe supports backup and disaster recovery operations and introduces an emerging deduplication solution that promises to exceed the performance and benefits of other dedupe products. Check it out now to learn how dedupe works and to explore topics such as tape integration, hash collision avoidance, content-aware deduplication and more.
