CommSolutions

Comm Solutions Company is pleased to announce that we have partnered with Data Domain to provide best in class storage deduplication.

Eliminating redundant data can significantly shrink storage requirements and improve bandwidth efficiency. Deduplication lowers storage costs since fewer disks are needed, and shortens backup/recovery times since there can be far less data to transfer. In the context of backup and other nearline data, there is normally a great deal of duplicate data that can be eliminated. The same data keeps getting stored over and over again consuming a lot of unnecessary storage space (disk or tape), electricity (to power and cool the disk or tape drives), and bandwidth (for replication), creating a chain of cost and resource inefficiencies within the organization. Data Domain provides a purpose built, backup to disk solution that deduplicates and compresses backups on average 20x or 2000%. These significantly smaller backup images can then be efficiently replicated across a WAN utilizing 95% less bandwidth than a non-deduplicated backup image.

Many of our clients are reporting that Data Domain solutions yield real cost savings. De-duplication technologies should be considered as a part of every virtualization effort and data center consolidation. As clients look to replace tape with disk-based data protection approaches, the economic advantages of data deduplication cannot be overlooked. Deduplication is an effective way to avoid the spiraling costs of storage.

Data Domain has provided an ROI calculator to compare non-reduplicated vs. reduplicated costs.  We'd enjoy the opportunity to come in and answer any questions that you may have on deduplication in general.
