Deduplication solutions ‘should be taken up by more companies’
October 21, 2010
A large number of companies could benefit from using deduplication solutions at their businesses.
This is according to Data Storage Connection columnist Charles Butler, who explained that many organisations are reporting rapid data growth of a more complex and dispersed nature than previously seen.
He said that deduplication solutions can play a part in tackling this problem, by dramatically reducing bandwidth and storage requirements, as well as centralising backup data to make disaster recovery planning easier to manage.
"Although this technology has existed for several years, many organisations have yet to take advantage of the enhanced efficiencies it can provide," Mr Butler stated.
Earlier this month, Bobby Crouch, a contributor for TechRepublic, stated that deduplication solutions can help deal with redundant data.
He explained that around 75 per cent of the information stored digitally by organisations is a copy of some kind, meaning deduplication has the potential to offer large efficiency savings.
