Why do enterprises need data de-duplication?

Data de-duplication helps to improve data protection, speed up service and reduce cost, says Jim Simon of Quantum

Thursday, December 27, 2007

CIOL: Over the past three years, the de-duplication market has grown from nothing to $100 million and analyst firm The 451 Group expects this market to reach $260 million by the end of 2007. What do you think will be the key developments over the next 12 months? Are there any challenges that need to be overcome for the market to really take off?

JS: One of the most important needs is to have the technology become available in true enterprise level solutions and to have it effectively integrated with the other elements needed for comprehensive data protection strategy. De-duplication is great—but it can’t do everything. Companies also need conventional D2D backup for some jobs, they need tape for long term retention, and they need encryption for security.

Besides, they have to match the right technology with the access and retention requirements for different data types and points in its life cycle. We think what is really allowing de-duplication to begin entering the main stream is the fact that vendors with mature, multiple solution sets are integrating the technology into their offerings, providing common management tools, and supporting it with an experienced, unified service organization.
