IBM ProtecTIER - Plotting Strategy for the Data Deduplication Wars: Page 3 of 3

Data deduplication is one of those rare opportunities where the economic and technological benefits are well-recognized so it should come as no surprise that vendors are moving troops into this market as quickly as they can.

All in all, this announcement strengthens IBM's position as one of the leaders in the highly competitive data deduplication space. The company's enhancements to its already well-received ProtecTIER should be well-received by the company's customers and channel partners.

Assisting with operational recovery through the standard use of data deduplication to eliminate data redundancy has long been a strong point for ProtecTIER. But significantly improving enterprise customers' disaster recovery capabilities, as well, should allow ProtecTIER to take on a welcome broader role in data protection.
