Storage Networking World: SEPATON CTO Miklos Sandorfi Featured Panelist At Storage Networking World On Data De-Duplication Approaches
SEPATON, Inc., the leader in enterprise-class data protection solutions, recently announced that Miklos Sandorfi, chief technology officer (CTO), will be a featured panelist at Storage Networking World, taking place October 15-18, 2007 at the Gaylord Texan Resort Hotel and Convention Center in Dallas, Texas. Sandorfi's panel entitled "The Varied Approaches to Data De-Duplication - Which Approach is Right for You?" will be moderated by Arun Taneja, founder and consulting analyst, Taneja Group and will take place on Monday, October 15 from 3:45 – 4:30 pm. SEPATON will also demonstrate its enterprise-class data protection solutions during the show in Booth #C17.
The panel will discuss the different approaches to data de-duplication and the appropriate environments for which each should be considered. These various approaches include ContentAware, hash-based, or HyperFactor. The session will address achieving de-duplication inline vs. post process and the hidden operational issues involved with each.
According to Sandorfi, "De-duplication performed in-line requires slightly less capacity and is adequate for relatively small backup requirements. However, this method has a significant negative impact on performance and cannot complete large backups required by enterprise organizations within typical backup windows. The ContentAware approach starts the de-duplication process as soon as the backup process begins and continues in parallel with the backup in a fully integrated operation. The main benefit of this out-of-line method is that it can handle much larger volume backups within a typical eight-hour backup window. In addition, because it backs up a full set of data before the out-of-line method enables a more rigorous data integrity checking capability."
As SEPATON's Chief Technology Officer, Mr. Sandorfi is responsible for the Company's product vision and roadmap. He has an extensive background in the development of enterprise-class storage systems. He served for more than a decade at EMC Corporation, where he was responsible for many technological advances in several product categories including client/server, mainframe and Open Symmetrix. Mr. Sandorfi worked closely with industry leaders to help develop the Fibre Channel protocol in its infancy, and was instrumental in bringing Fibre Channel connectivity to EMC products. Most recently, he was responsible for the FICON (ESCON-over-Fibre Channel) architecture and implementation in Symmetrix. Mr. Sandorfi has 13 granted and eight pending patents for inventions in SEPATON ContentAware, Fibre Channel and Disk Subsystem I/O technology space. Prior to EMC, he held positions at a leading nationwide computer rental and services company, where he developed corporate MIS infrastructure and software.
