Data Deduplication Reports

State of Storage 2011 Report: Consolidation and Centralization

IT teams areas are packing more information on fewer devices, delivering faster throughput while using less space and power, and managing the needs of more applications with fewer people. Download this report to see how smart CIOs will accelerate this trend by adopting new multipurpose arrays and converged networks.

Storage Utilization: Data Dedupe Gains Ground, Albeit Slowly

As the volume of corporate data continues to grow, IT pros keep investing in new storage usage technologies. Compression still ranks No. 1, according to InformationWeek Analytic's 2010 Data Deduplication Survey, though respondents rely increasingly on dedupe, as well as thin provisioning and MAID. We also compare 2010 market trends with our 2009 research.

Deduplication to Optimize Disaster Recovery

Designing infrastructure for business continuity and disaster recovery requires a mix of business and technological savvy. Deduplication at the disk and the network level can make it easier to move and storecritical information in your DR environment.

Deduplication: The New Math

Deduplication changes IT's storage calculations for everything from backup to primary storage to capacity planning. With the old math, up to 50 percent of your storage capacity could sit idle. This report provides insights on how deduplication changes the equation.

But of the 681 business technology professionals who took part in our InformationWeek Analytics Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery Survey, 17% have no BC/DR plans, while 20% are still working on their strategies. Most say cost and complexity are the top inhibitors.
