Fact 2: The technology to protect it - PC Backup Software - has seen limited innovation.
Consequently, over 80% of the data within any enterprise is duplicated across servers and end users. What will this result in? The Storage and bandwidth bottlenecks for backups is the obvious answer which comes to your mind.
What companies need is a data deduplication solution, to reduce the amount of storage and bandwidth required for enterprise wide data backups. By saving only a single copy of duplicated content, this process ensures a reduction of up to 99% in backup time, storage and bandwidth.
The best solutions for corporate data protection combine continuous data protection with source-based data deduplication. Among these, the popular options for office and remote users feature simple backup and point-in-time restores.
The latest version of one of my favourite backup clients uses technology that ensures data is not duplicated making data backups up to 10 times faster. This version is driven by an all new Blackbird engine (name inspired by the SR71-Blackbird).
The new storage engine introduces Invent Application Aware Data Deduplication (IAADD) and gets rid of any dependency on a SQL database which means a shrinked core of only about 2 MB against the current 32MB. It also avoids some overhead TCP connects, making it blazingly fast and light weight. IAADD ensures data deduplication at the logical level, guaranteeing 100% accuracy.
