Data Domain Gateway Series: High-Speed, Inline Deduplication For Third-Party Storage Systems

Today's traditional disk backup systems go no further than providing a front-end to a tape library infrastructure with a fast cache, temporarily alleviating backup window problems. They fail to replace tape automation technology because they lack the requisite economic and operational qualities. Traditional disk cannot cost-effi ciently retain backup and archive data for any length of time, and the data is too large to be replicated over a Wide Area Network (WAN).

Data Domain has revolutionized disk backup and remote offi ce data protection with patented high-speed, inline deduplication. Backup data can be reduced in size by an average of 20x, so disk backup storage is now cost-effective for long-term onsite retention and highly effi cient for network-effi cient offsite replication to disaster recovery sites.
