Sepaton Doubles Backup Performance: Page 3 of 3

It's a double blow for storage professionals: Data is growing exponentially, while backup windows are shrinking. Sepaton, a company that already claims to provide the fastest backup, is now shipping the S2100-ES2 Series 1910/2910 system with version 6.0 software. It delivers "the industry's fastest performance, multiprotocol support, high reliability and industry-leading deduplication," say company officials. At up to 1,500Mbytes/second/node, the 2100 provides more than double the performance of

Karp questions how long Sepaton can remain the major independent provider of dedupe appliances. "Right now, the company seems well-positioned going forward. Their relationship with HDS is critical and seems to be working out well so far for both companies, ... [and] the relationships with Symantec and Hewlett-Packard will also be useful. These alliances give Sepaton far more feet on the street than they could possibly provide by themselves, and increase the likelihood of Sepaton continuing to be a significant player in this segment area."

Russell agrees with Karp that the future independence of Sepaton looks good, as the ongoing consolidation of backup vendors enables the company to stand out from a smaller number of competitors. "What would really favor Sepaton, though, is consolidation in the minds and practices of end users, whereby enterprises seek to deploy a smaller number of larger solutions and to use these as a platform for multiple uses cases--backup, archiving, disaster recovery, etc."
