Achieve Data Reduction Before the Data Transfer While Improving Backup Performance

Achieve Data Reduction Before the Data Transfer While Improving Backup Performance
from Syncsort

Technology Brief

Description:
Commonly deployed target-side deduplication strategies are only one way to reduce the total quantity of backed up data. But because the desired data reduction occurs after the data transfer, those strategies do nothing to shrink one’s backup window, reduce contention on the LAN, or improve backup success rates. Download this tech brief to learn why zero-impact data reduction is a superior strategy to deduplication.

Synscort Tech Brief Sample

Companies moving to virtual server environments have found data protection to be challenging at best. Guest backup solutions have the advantage that they require no changes in data protection policies or procedures.

However, most VM guest backup solutions negatively impact other virtual machines during a VM backup operation, limiting VM density. Syncsort’s zero-impact solution does not. The reduction in data traffic, CPU, storage requirements, and backup window significantly increases the return on your virtualization investment.
