DeDuplication Models

Data De-Duplication Versions

Requirements De-Dupe Policy How it works

- Short to medium backup window
- Need to retain data on disk
- Need to minimise disk use
- Have mixed backup speeds
- Want replicate at ingest

Adaptive De-Duplication
- Segments land in disk buffer, then de dupe during ingest
- Replicate changed blocks immediately
- Behaves like conventional in line at midrange speeds
- Adapts to faster ingest speeds to avoid throttling the backup job
- Reads made from cache as space is available for faster reads/tape creation
- Short backup window critical
- Need to retain data on disk
- Want to maximise performance
- Can defer replication
Deferred De-Duplication
- All data written to disk during backup window
- De-duplication replication occur in fully deferred post process outside window
- Reads from cache as space available for faster read/tape creation
- Shortest possible backup and restore windows
- When data does not de-duplicate
- When data is not retained
- For non-backup archive applications
Native VTL/NAS
- All data brought directly onto disk at highest speed
- Uses conventional VTL and NAS presentations
- Hardware compression in streaming mode provides capacity and performance advantages
- Conventional NAS mode provides conventional storage and archive storage
