Sometimes you need one technology to compensate for the weaknesses of other technologies. Data deduplication works in precisely this way. It takes direct advantage of the most inefficient aspect of the backup process, which is the creation of large volumes of duplicate data.
The FalconStor® File-interface Deduplication System (FDS) provides the following benefits for D2D backup:
Reduces disk consumption by 95% or more
Makes data backup faster and more reliable
Easily integrates with any industry-standard backup software
Replicates data across sites while reducing bandwidth utilization by 95% or more
Supports database backup tools such as RMAN and SQL Backtrack
Provides highly efficient data storage for VM images
And more
