NEW DELHI, INDIA: HP has announced new disk-based backup systems with data deduplication technology that increases disk utilization by up to 50 times to deliver scalable solutions that reduce storage costs and protect business critical data.
Data deduplication technology eliminates redundant data from a disk storage device to lower storage space requirements.
The technology enables customers to reduce floor space and lower energy consumption by decreasing storage capacity requirements. It also helps them minimize administrative overhead by retaining data on disk for a longer period.
HP provides two distinct methods of data deduplication to address the demands of different set of customers. For SMB customers, the company has integrated this functionality into the HP StorageWorks D2D Backup Systems (D2D).
For enterprises, the company offers deduplication with the HP StorageWorks Virtual Library Systems (VLS).
45 percent more affordability than similar systems, 'dynamic' deduplication in the HP D2D 2500 and 4000 systems change the economics of data protection for SMBs. Easy to deploy and manage solutions provide SMBs and businesses with branch sites the assurance that their data is protected and can be quickly recovered.
"Disk-based backup systems can enhance data protection for a business of any size. Integrating deduplication technologies allows customers to leverage up to 50 times more capacity to ensure that their business has faster and reliable access to stored data," said Dave Russell, VP, Gartner.
"Deduplication technology is poised to transform the backup and recovery marketplace," he added.
"The ability to scale capacity and performance, coupled with affordability provides customers of all sizes in the APAC region a capacity-efficient, disk-based backup system to meet their needs," said Jim Wagstaff, VP and GM—Storage Works Division, HP, APAC and Japan.
HP data deduplication technology for the VLS and D2D enables customers to automate and remotely manage the systems with low-bandwidth replication. This provides data center managers the ability to back up data remotely without manual intervention, thereby reducing staffing costs. Utilizing disk-based backup for remote locations reduces overhead by consolidating tape hardware into a single site.
To provide data protection for micro and small businesses, HP also introduced the new HP StorageWorks RDX removable disk backup systems (RDX160 and RDX320).
These disk backup solutions are easy to use and affordable, and allow small businesses to store data off-site as part of their disaster recovery plan.
