Federated Dedupe Solutions

HP has announced new deduplication solutions for the HP StoreOnce Backup family that enable organizations to manage risk as they deal with explosive data growth by protecting more data in less time.

The new solutions are the first to deliver backup performance of up to 100 terabytes (TB) per hour and data recovery of up to 40 TB per hour in a single system, which is up to three times and five times faster, respectively, than the closest competitive offering, the company claims in a media release.

Faced with a tidal wave of data growth and new application workloads, organizations risk serious compliance issues due to extended backup-and-restore windows as well as management costs associated with infrastructure complexity. HP now delivers:
Reduced recovery time, capacity needs and bandwidth costs with HP StoreOnce Catalyst software, which offers the industrys highest-performing backup-and-restore throughput when combined with the enhanced HP StoreOnce B6200 Backup. Clients can recover in a single day what would take a full workweek with the competition.
Increased productivity with HP Data Protector 7 Software, powered by the Autonomy Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), featuring governance tools that enable contextual backup and recovery of information. For the first time, clients can precisely protect, find and recover information based on the meaning and concepts contained within the data.
Improved efficiency of server and storage connectivity with HP Virtual Connect Direct-Attach Fibre Channel for HP 3PAR Storage, which eliminates the need for complex, multitier storage area networks (SANs).

Based on HP Converged Infrastructure, these solutions enable organizations to shift resources from managing and integrating traditional, inflexible technology silos to an IT infrastructure that supports process innovation and strategic initiatives.

Clients are struggling with complex, incompatible storage solutions that are costly, hard to manage, underutilized and built for the past, said Som Satsangi, Vice President, Enterprise Group, HP India. HP is transforming the storage industry with simplified and converged solutions that span from the midrange to the high end of the enterprise, enabling organizations to maximize the value from their information in the most efficient way possible.

HP StoreOnce is the industrys only federated deduplication solution, which means data is deduplicated once using a single technology and then moved anywhere without ever having to be rehydratedor add back in the duplicate data. HP StoreOnce features a consistent, high-performance deduplication architecture that spans the enterprise, from application servers in remote offices to central data centers, eliminating the inefficiencies and costs of first-generation approaches.

Leveraging technology developed by HP Labs, the companys central research arm, HP StoreOnce includes more than 50 patent-pending innovations. By combining the HP StoreOnce deduplication engine with a unique scale-out cluster design, HP delivers the industry's only large-scale deduplication appliance with fully automated high-availability features. The solution also has an autonomic restart capability that ensures backup jobs complete even if there is a major hardware failure, reducing risk of data loss.

New HP StoreOnce Catalyst software for HP StoreOnce Backup systems allows clients to deduplicate data on application servers or backup servers before it is transferred to a centralized HP StoreOnce Backup system. This approach increases flexibility, enabling clients to optimize backup processes, eliminate wasted resources, reduce network bandwidth cost and improve backup throughput.

Clients can use HP Data Protector 7, Symantec NetBackup or Symantec Backup Exec to manage deduplication and data movement in their HP StoreOnce Catalyst environment. Independent software vendors (ISVs) can achieve this same level of control with the HP StoreOnce Catalyst open software development kit.
