I was on a panel regarding deduplication with him last year, and I remember him being very thorough.<BR/><BR/>As so the business benefits, though, I think that can be summarized much more succinctly. Deduplication saves you money by reducing system footprint, saving purchase costs, power costs, and cooling costs. Of course, this is really only useful if the system with dedupe is already attractively priced even without a high dedupe ratio -- that's why things like Hitachi trying to sell an archive system with dedupe backed by Tagmastore makes no sense at all.<BR/><BR/>Most dedupe is sold today at the backup/VTL side of things, which is really too late -- it saves a lot of money vs. non-deduped VTL, and some vs. tape, but doesn't cut the big cost: primary storage. Dedupe for primary storage is relatively rare today, and I think it's something we'll see more in 2009.<BR/><BR/>I've written more about this in my blog, in articles <A HREF="http://permabit.wordpress.com/2008/08/19/deduplication-is-not-a-feature/" REL="nofollow">"Deduplication is Not a Feature"</A> and <A HREF="http://permabit.wordpress.com/2008/12/09/cutting-costs-with-enterprise-archive/" REL="nofollow">"Cutting Costs with Enterprise Archive"</A> if you'd like to see more of my thoughts.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Jered Floyd<BR/>CTO, PermabitAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
