3. Data deduplication is becoming a very commonly-heard buzzword in the storage sector, tell us more about this concept and where the focus lies?
Data deduplication is a very key component to the future of data storage. Simply put deduplication provides a reduction in disk footprint. SEPATON uses ContentAware technology for our deduplication product which enables much more granular data reduction.
Deduplication solutions should have an inherent understanding of the data that is being stored, including the application type, and enable the ability to turn deduplication on or off depending on business and regulatory requirements.
In addition, metadata about the content should also be stored, enabling much more efficient content indexing and search, and therefore the ability to meet discovery requests.
Deduplication solutions should not simply perpetuate the notion that we want to get as much data into a space as possible.
Though this is an important element of deduplication, SEPATON’s dedupe products enable much higher value functions for IT and the business to leverage.
