Challenge: Improve upon underwhelming tape backup performance

Today, many VTL solutions are limited in their ability to scale performance and/or capacity to meet the special needs of enterprise data centers. To use them in a large datacenter, enterprises may have to modify their backup processes, add multiple systems, or perform a forklift upgrade. Each of these options adds disruption, inefficiency, complexity, and cost. According to ESG “The ability to scale dynamically may be the greatest differentiator of VTL solutions suited for enterprise deployments.”

DeltaStor™ software is a next-generation data deduplication application for the SEPATON® S2100®-ES2 virtual tape library that enables enterprises to store more data online at a cost that is comparable to physical tape systems. DeltaStor leverages SEPATON’s patented DeltaScale™ architecture to enable the industry’s fastest backup and restore performance and highest deduplication ratios.

Small and medium sized companies can meet these objectives by simply copying data to physical tape and shipping the tapes to an off-site storage facility. They can also replicate data over their network with a disk-based backup system. However, solutions that would suffice for smaller organizations–like tape and many disk-based solutions–lack the performance, capacity, and automation necessary to meet the needs of large, data intensive organizations. This article describes the five key factors to consider when choosing an enterprise disaster recovery solution.

SEPATON recently conducted an analysis of the financial, operational and business aspects of data protection in an enterprise data protection environment. The analysis included an evaluation of the total cost of ownership and return on investment as well as the overall business impact of using a virtual tape library with deduplication software in an enterprise environment. The findings of this analysis are contained in this white paper.

This profile examines the business case for the use of compression and capacity optimization/data deduplication technologies, defines the difference between traditional compression techniques and capacity optimization, and then spotlights SEPATON’s ContentAware DeltaStor product and its key differentiators.

This report describes the state of the green data center: why the challenge is very real, what technologies exist today to counter that challenge, and why innovative software that shrinks and streamlines storage is key to evolving the green data center. It goes on to position SEPATON's role as a "key vendor" in this market.

Detailed testing confirms the importance of enterprise deduplication in improving backup performance, controlling costs, and delivering faster restores.
