EMC redoubles Dedup efforts

June 3, 2009:EMC has announced expanded data de-duplication capabilities for its EMC NetWorker and EMC Avamar backup software and EMC Disk Library, for disk-based backup.

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.

From a single console, NetWorker administrators can now manage traditional backups while also protecting their file systems, Microsoft platforms and Oracle databases with de-duplication which promises up to 98% less storage space and enables 90% faster backups.

EMC Disk Library includes new software capabilities for improved management and monitoring, and additional features that increase performance and lower costs for data centre backup and de-duplication.

In addition, 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 de-duplication ratios.

EMC Avamar has added support for SharePoint Server 2007 and Lotus Domino.
