De-Dupe Drives Data Domain Growth: Page 4 of 4

Data Domain is nonetheless planning to grow its sales force by about fifty people a quarter, up from its current sales headcount of 324.

“At the end of the day, storage is a ground war, and it has to be fought on the ground, and without people in the sales organization it can’t be done,” said Slootman, in response to a question from an analyst. “We have to get out in front of customers with new products.”

EMC is another vendor experiencing strong demand for its de-dupe offerings, describing “triple digit growth” for its Avamar products during its own Q2 results earlier this week.
