Data Deduplication for Faster Backup and More Reliable Restore

FalconStor deduplication solutions bring immediate cost savings to any organization that needs high-performance access to data. The most immediate savings result from using significantly less disk space to store backup data. This can mean purchasing less disk capacity, or freeing up existing capacity and making it available for other uses. Beyond the initial cost savings, operational benefits can reduce costs over time.

Watch now: Optimizing Deduplication Performance in a D2D Environment

Disk-based backup with deduplication

FalconStor^® Virtual Tape Library (VTL) with deduplication includes disk mirroring to protect against local storage failure as well as replication to protect against disasters. The solution also includes a failover capability, which lets you recover data and respond to business requirements even if multiple nodes in a cluster fail.

Clustering enables separate FalconStor VTL devices to be managed and used logically as a single data repository, supporting even the largest data requirements. FalconStor VTL emulates over 50 popular tape libraries and 30 tape formats, which can be accessed over Fibre Channel or iSCSI.

Network-attached data deduplication

FalconStor^®File-interface Deduplication System (FDS) minimizes storage capacity for the widest variety of business data, including databases, user-shared data, backups, archives, and virtual machine data. It provides a network file-share interface (NFS/CIFS) to the deduplication repository.

Improved backup processes, lower costs

Data deduplication improves efficiency and saves money—exactly what is needed when IT budgets are tight.

Eliminate redundant data
Shrink your backup repository by 95%
Reduce your storage requirements and maximize storage utilization

Seamless integration into your backup environment

Backup is critical to protecting data and ensuring its recoverability. However, backup applications, by design, continuously create new copies of the same data, resulting in an explosion of required storage capacity on tape and disk.

FalconStor data deduplication solutions integrate seamlessly into your backup environment to address this problem. They replicate only deduplicated data blocks rather than the full backup set, reducing media costs, streamlining management tasks, and minimizing the bandwidth required for replication.

Enhanced backup performance and reliability

In addition to integrating with your existing backup infrastructure and processes with minimal disruption, and offering significant cost savings, FalconStor deduplication solutions enhance the backup performance and reliability.

Maintain tape backup processes while maximizing data retention on disk
Enable cost-effective, high performance D2T and D2D backup operations
