IBM System Storage N series Deduplication

Highlights

• Increased storage efficiency across all storage tiers: primary backup and archival data
• Optimized TCO - Lower power, space and cooling costs and helps to reduce human management and support
• High degree of granularity - Block level deduplication, it deeply examines blocks and only changes are stored
• Minimal performance impact - Sends only changed blocks and incremental backups

Limited storage footprints, growing data and shrinking budgets sound familiar to you? Why pay to store hundreds of copies of a file when you can store that file once and reference the same data a hundred times. IBM System Storage® N series Deduplication is designed to optimize storage space by eliminating redundant data objects with minimal impact on operations. It can help you to reduce power, space, support and other costs while also supporting high speed backup, provisioning and disaster recovery.

IBM System Storage N series Deduplication provides block-level deduplication within the entire flexible volume on N series systems. Deduplication stores only unique blocks in the flexible volume and creates a small amount of additional metadata during the process.

Deduplication can help your company:

• Optimize space: conserve physical disk space when storing data on disk
• Increase power efficiencies
• Reduce costs
