Case study: NY Mets add deduplication to roster
by Alan Radding
With an extensive lineup of corporate data, photos and video, the Mets needed to recruit some backup help. The call went out for low-cost disk backup configuration, including deduplication and compression to reduce the amount of data to be backed up, as well as WAN optimization/acceleration to speed up the replication process. After much consideration, Data Domain was drafted for the job. |

by Bob Laliberte
To keep pace with changes in the server and storage domains, organizations need to ensure that the I/O path doesn't become a bottleneck. Automated patch panels, N_Port ID Virtualization, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and InfiniBand are just some of the technologies that might resolve this issue. |
