Selecting a VTL/ “De-dupe” solution for your business

Written by Moshe Shaham

Introduction

As data volumes aggressively grow, companies are facing some major challenges in the last few years. Some of these key challenges are evolving around: data protection, regulatory compliance, data management, infrastructure costs, the limitation of space in the data center, global operations support, and more.

Two major technologies that emerged in recent years, to address these challenges are: Virtual Tape Libraries (VTL) and De-Duplication (De-dup). These technologies can be deployed separately or jointly to deliver measurable value to your organization. With the growing need to resolve the aforementioned, the storage market is becoming increasingly dense with solutions that range from hardware based appliances, to storage devices with an integrated software solution, to software only solutions. The significant increase in VTL and de-duplication offerings makes it ever so challenging for customers to identify and select the appropriate solution for their enterprise. Customers that are trying to make a decision solely based on technology will more often than not find themselves confused by the VTL and De-dup nomenclature and have difficulty rationalizing their decision.
