Data Deduplication sales consulting & service by Abtech Systems

Deduplication isn't just the buzz-word of the week, it is a technology aimed towards reducing storage needs by reducing redundant data. By creating pointers to only one unique copy of the data, redundant data is eliminated.

For example, a PowerPoint file is backed up initially. The creator then makes changes to two of the slides in the file, resaves it, and then emails the file to 5 coworkers. With a traditional backup, the entire presentation, an all 5 emailed copies backed up. With deduplication, only the unique elements of the data, in this case the two changed slides, are backed up.

Aside from the obvious benefit of reduced storage requirements, data deduplication allows for smaller backup windows, longer data retention periods, and faster recovery times. Deduplication also reduces the amount of data which must be sent over a WAN connection when doing remote backups, saving your organization the expense of upgrading internet connections, and again, allows for smaller backup windows.

Depending on the technology that is implemented, and your particular type of data, compression ratios can range from 3:1 to 100:1. An Abtech engineer can provide a customized evaluation of your environment, and will forecast the amount of savings that you might see.

By partnering with multiple leaders of data deduplication technology, Abtech can provide you with the best solution that fits your organization's budget and needs.
