WikitipHope for tape vendors lies with a dedupe standardUsers have adopted data deduplication as an important first step in facilitating the transformation to disk-based backup. Users should continue to drive their suppliers to greater support of standards that will improve users’ ability to manage their information liabilities and assets. However, they should not regard deduplication as a cure-all for out-of-control data growth. Dedupe is most effective in data backup and recovery applications, where large volumes of unchanged data are being stored over and over. In other applications, such as ERP and CRM, dedup will not offer major advantages. Tape vendors must aggressively adopt deduplication technologies in their portfolios, initially integrating into a blended disk/tape offering (e.g. VTL's) and eventually applying similar capacity utilization techniques to tape controllers. Importantly, unless these techniques are developed as industry standards, tape vendors will be overwhelmed by aggressive disk marketing. |
Featured Case Study
Financial giant goes greenThe corporate IT group of a very large, worldwide financial organization with 100,000 employees, has initiated an ongoing “greening” process. This is focused largely on reducing energy use both to decrease the corporation's carbon footprint while creating a net savings in operational costs over the lifetime of new, more energy-efficient equipment, including new storage systems. |

Planning a Green Storage InitiativeFluctuating energy prices have heightened electricity and energy consumption as a major issue within the technology community. IT is a significant consumer of energy and IT energy costs have been rising disproportionately because of continued investment in denser IT equipment. Estimates from the EPA and others indicate that IT will account for 3% of energy consumption by 2012. | |||
