Are You Prepared for a Disaster?


Data Deduplication

Data Deduplication, or "dedupe", essentially refers to the elimination of redundant data. In the deduplication process, duplicate data is deleted, leaving only one copy of the data to be stored. However, indexing of all data is still retained should that data ever be required. Deduplication is able to reduce the required storage capacity since only the unique data is stored, and compares segments of data being written to disk storage with previously stored data segments.  All unnecessary duplicate files are removed.  Deduplication is a data reduction technique that makes storage more efficient and dramatically reduces expenses for the entire IT infrastructure.

Challenges

  • Enterprises of all sizes are faced with shrinking budgets and increasing recovery demands while forced to address the challenges of rapid data growth.
  • The challenge of magnifying primary storage is intensified by the growth of secondary data copies, which can be growing at exponential rates.
  • The combination of cost, operational and legislative pressures are driving businesses to look at more cost-effective data storage technologies and data management solutions.
  • Business growth shifts from a need to store gigabytes to terabytes of data storage, so data center space and power are increasing expenses.

RenovoData Solution

RenovoData provides  innovative data deduplication and virtualization technologies  which allows increased IT flexibility, freeing up datacenters from the shortcomings of a static, physical IT infrastructure.  RenovoData’s deduplication technology helps organizations of all sizes reduce data, management complexity and overall infrastructure of the IT data storage environment.

  • Deduplication allows an organization to shrink the datacenter footprint and get more out of deployed disks, using less storage with the same amount of information.
  • Organizations are enabled to keep data for longer periods of time and eliminate unnecessary files, allowing the ability to store critical business and regulatory files for a long-term at a fraction of the space within the datacenter.                   
  • Cost containment is substantial and environmental benefits are realized.
  • Data deduplication technology is more economical than tape-based solutions and provides faster backups and recovery times.
  • Less bandwidth is needed to replicate.  This causes the organization to send a reduced amount of data, which in turn means less is stored on the other side and lowers costs associated with storage, power and cooling.
