Beat Backup Challenges with Data Deduplication


Data Deduplication is a mechanism to reduce the amount of data stored on disk for backup, archive or even primary storage. For any storage, data is often duplicated and any system that eliminates storing duplicate data will be more utilize storage more efficiently.
With Data deduplication you can:
  • Improve data protection
  • Increase the speed of service
  • Reduce costs
The benefits from data de-duplication start with increasing overall data integrity and end with reducing overall data protection costs. Data de-duplication lets users reduce the amount of disk they need for backup by 90 percent or more, and with reduced acquisition costs—and reduced power, space, and cooling requirements—disk becomes suitable for first stage backup and restore and for retention that can easily extend to months.

Chunking and Deduplication

Deduplication implementations work by comparing chunks of data to detect duplicates. For that to happen, each chunk of data is assigned a presumably unique identification, calculated by the software, typically using cryptographic hash functions. A requirement of these functions is that if the identification is identical, the data is identical.
Therefore, if the software sees that a given identification already exists in the deduplication namespace, then it will replace that duplicate chunk with a link. Upon read back of the file, wherever a link is found, the system simply replaces that link with the referenced data chunk. The de-duplication process is intended to be transparent to end users and applications.

As data volumes grow and budgets shrink, backup is often caught in the middle. If you’re concerned with delayed backups, reliability of restores, remote protection, or virtual server backup, data deduplication technology from D-Appenders provides an affordable, easy-to-implement solution that saves you time and money.

Integration Is the Best Strategy

While data deduplication is important, it’s even more important to know how easy it is to integrate this technology into your existing backup.
