De-duplication has become a very popular topic in the industry because of the potentially large reduction in cost and increase in efficiency it offers. De-duplication technologies are being promoted at various points within the storage network including source de-duplication, de-duplication of data in transit and de-duplication at the storage destination. De-duplication technologies are also being promoted in all tiers: backup, archiving and primary storage.
Each of these storage use cases represents a unique set of challenges. Implementing any de-duplication technology has major implications for scale, performance and functionality. De-duplication also has long term legal and compliance implications for records management. This session will review various de-duplication technologies available and the implications of each.
