Data Domain (EMC) - Storage Deduplication

Data Domain® deduplication storage systems dramatically reduce the amount of disk storage needed to retain and protect enterprise data. By identifying redundant files and data as they are being stored, Data Domain systems provide a storage footprint that is 10x-30x smaller, on average, than the original data set.

Silver Peak optimizes the WAN for more efficient transfer of data between Data Domain systems.  In doing so, the combined Silver Peak / Data Domain solution lowers both WAN and storage costs for a compelling ROI.
