Integrating
new FalconStor File-Interface Deduplication System
Nexsan Corporation has
released the DeDupe SG ('Speed with Green') 2.0
solution. Nexsan's next generation of energy-efficient
file storage systems are designed for data protection
and disaster recovery applications that require
high-performance deduplication.
Integrating the latest version of the FalconStor
File-Interface Deduplication System (FDS), the Nexsan
DeDupe SG 2.0 is the first LAN-based deduplication
system to offer high availability. As part of the most
recent enhancements, Nexsan DeDupe SG 2.0 features
support for Symantec's OpenStorage (OST)
protocol, which accelerates data ingestion speeds for
the increased performance and efficiency that today's
mid-sized enterprises need.
The
Nexsan DeDupe SG 2.0
offers redundant appliances to provide continuous data
access and automatic backup application failover,
raising the bar for data deduplication solutions. To
dramatically increase backup speeds and reduce the
complexity of recovery during a disaster, the redundant
appliances offer backup server connections of up to 5.4
terabytes per hour and support for Symantec OST.
"Data deduplication technology addresses the issue
of burgeoning data growth, which is a key challenge for
storage administrators," said Lauren Whitehouse,
senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. "Adoption
rates for data deduplication technology are growing
because it delivers greater storage efficiency and
improves the economics of disk-based backup. This
technology should be at the heart of any data management
strategy."
The Nexsan DeDupe SG 2.0 improves operational efficiency
by leveraging the green capabilities inherent in
Nexsan's industry-leading AutoMAID technology. This
energy-saving technology transparently places disk
drives into their most energy-efficient state without
affecting backup performance, making DeDupe SG 2.0
systems extremely power efficient.
"Nexsan has a unique capability and one that we
believe is a first in the industry: power-managed
deduplication," said George Crump, senior analyst
at Storage Switzerland. "In the past, because of the
deployment strategies of other solutions, all the drives
needed to remain active for the deduplication process to
work effectively. The Nexsan solution is designed so
that the backup can be completed, deduplication cleanup
processes performed, and the system be ready to be spun
down soon after the backup completes."
New features of the Nexsan DeDupe SG 2.0
include:
- Redundant
appliances for high availability
- Automatic backup
application failover
- Symantec OST
support for additional efficiency and performance
- Support for
industry-leading backup software solutions,
including NetBackup
- Replication
support for up to 150 remote sites
- Further automation
of storage management processes
- Optional
10-Gigabit Ethernet connections
"The market demands a
high-availability dedupe solution for NAS-based
disk-to-disk backup environments, and now with Nexsan,
we are the first to deliver it," said Fadi Albatal,
vice president of product marketing for FalconStor. "With
the Nexsan DeDupe SG 2.0, FalconStor and Nexsan bring
power-managed deduplication with enterprise-class
reliability, scalability, and performance to meet the
data protection needs of the most data intensive
applications."
"Today's organizations require cost-effective
solutions for high availability and continuous data
access," said Bob Woolery, senior vice president of
marketing for Nexsan. "The Nexsan DeDupe SG 2.0
meets these requirements while providing the optimized
performance and efficiency enterprises of all sizes
demand. This release underscores our commitment to
power-efficient deduplication solutions and further
establishes Nexsan as a storage leader focused on
aggressive product innovation and delivery."
