EMC Expands Data De-duplication Capabilities

EMC Corporation has announced expanded data de-duplication capabilities and other new updates and new services to the comprehensive set of backup and recovery technologies in the industry. New
enhancements have been made to EMC NetWorker and EMC Avamar backup software and EMC Disk Library.

EMC NetWorker now provides source-based de-duplication – via integration with EMC Avamar for Microsoft SharePoint Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft SQL Server as well as Oracle databases, in addition to existing support for VMware virtualised environments and other critical applications. EMC Disk Library now includes EMC NetWorker path-to-tape and replication support, OpenStorage API support for Symantec Veritas NetBackup as well as API support for Oracle RMAN optimised de-duplication, which can provide up to a 300 percent increase in deduplication ratios. The newest version of Avamar includes support for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007 and IBM Lotus Domino.

Mark Sorenson, EMC’s Senior Vice President of Storage Software, said, “De-duplication is a feature of
a comprehensive backup environment and EMC is delivering these innovative capabilities in all types of use cases, whether as stand-alone products or tightly integrated solutions. There is no one-size-fits all when it comes to backup environments, which is why EMC offers such an extensive portfolio of solutions that can be mixed and matched to provide the right recovery time and recovery point objectives. As controlling costs and storage efficiency continue to be top of mind for every IT manager, EMC is continuing to deliver new features and functions that help them meet both of those challenges while ensuring that their critical business information is protected and can be restored
quickly.”
