Double deduplication systems launch | | 2008-06-23 | | HP has launched two new data deduplication backup systems.
For SMB’s, the company offers new systems for its D2D Backup System appliance range, StorageWorks D2D 2500 and 4000. Dubbed "Dynamic Deduplication", the new technology deduplicates data as it is ingested. This saves disk space as no capacity needs to be set aside to hold incoming raw backup data.
For enterprises with data in the terabyte to petabyte range to back up, HP is offering a post-processing Virtual Library System (VLS), based on Sepaton’s DeltaStor technology. HP claims it has market-leading scalability and performance by easily adding disks and nodes as needed.
The company says that, compared to competing EMC/Quantum, Data Domain and IBM/Diligent products, the VLS leads in performance and capacity with 4,800 MB/sec - with eight nodes - and 1.3 petabytes of storage capacity.
It is claimed deduplication can provide a reduction in backup file size of up to 50:1. Actual results will vary with data type, backup methodology and the length of time data is retained.
The HP StorageWorks D2D 2500 and 4000 systems are available now starting at a U.S. list price of $6,499. Accelerated deduplication is available for license with the HP StorageWorks VLS6600 and VLS9000 series and will be available in July. Licensing for the VLS6200 and VLS12000 models will be available in September.
