HP has announced new disk-based backup systems with data deduplication technology that increases disk utilization by up to 50 times to deliver scalable solutions that reduce storage costs and protect business critical data. Data deduplication technology eliminates redundant data from a disk storage device to lower storage space requirements. The technology enables customers to reduce floor space and lower energy consumption by decreasing storage capacity requirements. It also helps them minimize administrative overhead by retaining data on disk for a longer period. HP provides two distinct methods of data deduplication to address the demands of different set of customers. For SMB customers, the company has integrated this functionality into the HP StorageWorks D2D Backup Systems (D2D). For enterprises, the company offers deduplication with the HP StorageWorks Virtual Library Systems (VLS).
